Deep crimson; aromas of blackcurrant, plum, cedar and crushed mint. Medium–full body with dark fruit, tobacco and savory, well-structured yet supple tannins and lifted acidity leading to a persistent, savory finish.

Production Method
Machine-harvested early morning; crushed and destemmed; 7–9 day fermentation; pressed; ~50% matured in 2–3 year-old oak barrels, remainder in tank before bottling.
