WINE PROFILE
This wine is dark, very dark, in fact it is opaque garnet with ruby edges. With great depth, the aroma opens to ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, Bing cherry, cassis, spearmint and forest floor; with very well integrated oak spices. The spicy oak has cinnamon, clove, aromatic cedar, vanilla and the overall impression is of a dark chocolate truffle dusted with cocoa powder. The entry is full and promising with dark fruit flavors like blackberry and currant, while the tannins are firm yet resolved nicely. With lots of depth, this wine is juicy and rich; a great example of a refined mountain cabernet that begs to be paired with a perfectly marbled, grilled rib eye steak!
