Concentrated purple with ruby edges. A powerful nose of crushed blackberry, huckleberry, cassis, dried thyme, sage, and cedar. Lush on the palate, with smooth, velvety tannins. The opulence of the texture is balanced by the ripe black plums, woodsy herbs, and toasty oak flavors. An ideal wine for a fall stew, grilled sausages, or roasted mushrooms. Bing cherry and savory herbs highlight the weighty finish. Drink now–2038.
