    This 100% varietal wine is sanguine and meaty, with a big, brawny texture of soft, integrated tannin. Cinnamon, black cherry and plum highlights complete the picture.

    This appellation has shown great promise with the variety and this wine demonstrates why. Aromas and flavors of dried and baked plum center on a juicy, soft core, accented in pencil shavings and cedar. Red cherries and a long finish complement the whole.
