Tasting Notes
An alluringly perfumed wine with notes of dark red roses and a sweet highlight of black berry fruit. Adding complexity to the nose is the scent of cedar reminiscent of antique stores and delicious glimpses of dark chocolate covered apricots. Dark berries abound on the palate, with highlights of black cherries. Stewed satsuma plums layered with spices dance with the high cocoa from dark chocolate coffee beans. There are sweet mouthcoating fruit tannins that enhance the fine texture of the wine.
