Lively deep crimson with garnet hues. Distinctive cabernet notes of bay leaf and blackberry leaf provide clear varietalmarkers.With a swirl, lifted aromatics of dark red cherries and mulberries jump from the glass.Behind the fruit, oak derived notes of cookingspices emerge, including cardamom, allspiceand vanilla bean pod. Blackberry and dark red cherry fruits follow onto the palate.An enticing, savoury profile. Cranberry and pomegranatesucculence helps provide a sweet/sour dynamic.A combination of American and French oak offers a sweet char nuance.The oak doesn't poke out or linger,rather sitting supportivelywith the fruit.The structural tannins are fine and grainy helping to drive the finish.The palate lingers from the delicious dense fruit and bracing tannins.
