This wine from Sonoma County is richly concentrated, supple, and seeks high-intensity fruit that will harmoniously blend into a gorgeous, complex wine. The dark cherry/mahogany red colour is indicative of the luscious palate structure which leads with bramble berry fruit backed by notes of violets, sweet hibiscus juice, black currant conserves, and red-flesh plum. Meaty and mouthwatering with succulent edges, the full body is built on a tannin structure that starts out silky and fine then builds to a firm yet smooth finish that lingers indulgently on the palate. To harness the volume and tame the power of the blend (Zinfandel, Carignane, Malbec, and Syrah), the wine is aged in French oak, which imparts robust vanilla, amber honey, and roasted hazelnut flavours as well as a velvety mouthfeel and decadent finish.
