Fashioned from fruit grown on the valley floor, this is a superb effort. It boasts a dense purple color and a sweet bouquet of creosote, black currants, flowers, and minerals. Fine-tuned tannins create a silky smooth framework for the elegant layers of cassis, blackberry, black cherry, thyme, sage, and subtle spice that form the framework of this unique wine. Beautifully balanced, it hits all the right notes on the palate, finishing long with great elegance.
