This blend presents deep ruby hues and enticing aromas of blackberry, plum, and cherry, accented by notes of cedar, vanilla, and warm baking spices. On the palate, it delivers a rich and supple texture with flavors of dark fruit compote, mocha, and toasted oak. The finish is long and smooth, balanced by gentle tannins and refreshing acidity.

Winemaker Notes

Aromas

• Black fruits (blackberry, plum), sweet vanilla, cedar, and a hint of clove and cinnamon.

Palate

• Medium to full-bodied with ripe fruit flavors and smooth oak influence. Layers of chocolate and spice unfold with balanced acidity

Finish

The grapes were carefully selected from premium vineyard blocks and fermented in stainless steel and oak to maintain freshness and add complexity.
