The nose is dark and brooding with intense aromas of ripe berry fruit and cloves. The spicy fruit-driven aromas of the nose follow through onto a dense, peppery palate with flavours of morello cherry, cranberry, fresh plums, and red licorice. The wine is light to medium bodied with fine, integrated oak-deriven tannins. Vibrant acidity drives a dry finish with hints of dark chocolate and tobacco.
