Winemaker Comments:
Beautiful and velvety, this luscious wine is delicious from
start to finish. On the nose, the wine emanates a wonderful
black pepper, anise and black cherry aroma. A few more minutes
in the glass reveal chocolate, cardamom and leather components.
With the first sip, this beautiful blend is decadent and rich
with succulent tannins that are wonderfully integrated. The wine
is balanced and fruit forward and yet has incredible backbone
and acidity. This artful blend is truly a winemakers wine and
displays the finest aspects of Dry Creek Valley grapes.
