It overflows with black currants, blueberries, toasted oak and espresso crema notes on a velvety texture of superfine-grained tannins.
Pure cassis and black raspberry fruits, notes of tobacco leaf and spice, full-bodied richness, perfectly integrated oak, and silky tannins...
...gorgeous, heady wine that captures the exuberance of St. Helena along with notable brightness and energy. Lively acids and strong mineral accents play off a core of blackberry jam, cloves, , French oak, licorice, new leather, crème de cassis and chocolate.
...earthy/meaty overtones of beef drippings and tilled soil leading to a core of cassis, plum preserves and black cherries plus a touch of pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, it has firm, fine-grained tannins with lovely freshness to support the tightly wound black fruit and earthy layers, finishing long and lifted.
