Offers hints of black licorice and violet that are an enticing aromatic overtone, leading to fruit flavors of plumped black cherry, black plum reduction and fig cake. This red's rich profile is underscored by subtle, savory base notes of medicinal herbs, iron and smoke set on a seamlessly knit, medium- to full-bodied frame. Lush and silky in texture, with supple tannins firming the finish.
