Balanced and subtle but with good character, this blend offers flavors of tobacco, leather and clove. Fruit-driven and accessible, it’s both elegant and ageable.

A nose of wood spice and berry unfolds into flavors of toasted oak, bright berry and pepper. Though a bit one-dimensional, the wine offers structure and style.
