This vintage shows a dense purple color and great saturation at the core. Aromatically, this wine soars. Cimarossa is loaded with acacia flower, graphite, chocolate and subtle sweet oak. On the palate it gives up a deceptively sweet and rich entry that masks the grip that comes from the Howell Mountain fruit. This wine displays blueberry, espresso, tri-tip, pencil shavings and cedar. The finish on
this it tremendously long, seamless and shows a hint of mint as it finally tails off.
