Winemaker Sherman Thacher Notes
This wine is clear, with a very deep ruby core fading to a pale ruby edge. The legs are thin and slow to form, with heavily saturated color.
On the nose, this wine is clean and developing, with medium intense aromas of Black cherry, black plums, cedar, candied violets, raspberry and oak.
On the palate, this wine is dry with medium + intense chewy tannin, medium + acid, medium + alcohol and a medium + generous body accentuated by fully developed tannin. The flavors are medium + intense and include blackberries, unsweetened dark chocolate, cherry cola, violets, spicy oak, and toast. The finish is medium + in length, characterized by deep fruit flavors and lasting chewy tannins. This wine is ready to drink, but reveals i ...more... ts aromas much more completely after an hour or so of decant. It will hold easily for 5 years before its heavy color, rich flavors and substantial tannin wane. This is a wonderful wine.
