A dense, dark red color. After vinification in open top fermenters, this wine has been aged for 23 months in a selection of French, American, Russian and Hungarian oaks, contributing to a broad spectrum of baking spice in the aroma. The wine has full body with generous and supple black cherry and black berry fruit character, accented by savory notes. It is well framed by silky fruit tannins, juicy brightness, and a sweet oak finish. It will improve for 4 to 6 years from vintage, and can be cellared for up to 10 years.
