spice and newly turned earth

There is almost painful intensity to the super-sleek big-bodied flavors that possess a positively gorgeous mouthfeel due to a mid-palate that brims with sappy dry extract that coats the mouth on the hugely long and impeccably well-balanced finale

An overtly floral and markedly earthy nose is quite restrained if exceptionally pretty with its cool array of red and blue pinot fruit scents laced with hints of leather and herbal tea

balanced and much more complex finale

jammy aromas intermingled with scents of minerals and licorice

wonderfully sweet

tea hints and a wonderful broad range of spice influences
