WINEMAKER\’ NOTES: Ruby red in color with purple reflections. The bouquet offers a wide range of aromas primarily of blackberry, blueberry and plum. There are intense floral notes of rose and violet. The mouth is round and fresh, with soft and velvety tannins that give a very long and pleasant aftertaste. Very approachable. Goes well with robust roasts and hard, well-aged cheeses. TASTING NOTES: Enticing aromas of cherry, berry, licorice and floral pick up some density as this crosses the palate, where an earthy note emerges. Balanced and long. Drink now through 2020. Wine Spectator – 90 Points A lovely floral scent leads into fleshy red plum and bright cherry flavors undergirded by a hint of herbs. About 60 percent of this wines fruit undergoes carbonic maceration, lending brightness to the flavors and keeping the tannins mild. Wine & Spirits – 90 Points
