Tasting Notes:
Shocking...Intense...Breathtaking...The blackish-purple color is the first hint as to the depth of this wine. The second clue
is the dazzling array of succulent Napa Valley black fruits, violets and smoked meat aromas that waft through the air. In turn,
the palate is greeted by a silky layer of ripe black fruit flavors and freshly roasted espresso . Add to that a touch of Old
World leather and Mother Earth and you get the New World expression of a Northern Rhone classic. Lively acidity and fine grained
tannins brings it to a satisfying conclusion.
