Smoke, coffee, leather, tobacco, spice, dried prune and currant berry characterize a modern, nicely aged wine with deep complexity and depth. It’s also a distinctive wine with noticeable sweetness, firm tannins and excellent length. It’s ready to drink now and would make a fine companion to any red meat dish.

$39
Bursting ripe fruit aromas of cherry, black currant, cassis, plum and prunes are backed by fine mineral tones of slate, granite and loads of exotic spice. You’ll taste chocolate, cinnamon, sweet fruit and crushed clove: The wine’s extra long finish is powered by smooth, silky tannins.
