Bursting with exotic perfumes, this wine easily draws you in. Black plum jam, roasted meat, cracked vanilla pod and cigar humidor start off the aromatic blast. The palate is equally exuberant with intense bramble and spice notes embracing the panoply of flavors. Generous in smooth, layered tannins and gentle, balancing acidity, this hedonistic wine will please fans of the style. A bold lashing of coconut emerges as the wine sits in the glass, suggesting generous use of American oak.
