Gorgeous, sensuous nose of clove, blueberry and blackberry lifted with high-toned graphite, mineral, and olive aromas. The wine explodes across your palate with waves of blackberry pie, sweet oak, and hints of mint and mocha that never seem to end. This solid core of fruit is well supported by silky tannins in this lush, hedonistic yet balanced and harmonious effort. Fantastic. If you love the big, rich style of Napa Cabernet this wine is right up your alley…in fact, I would not hesitate to put this wine up against any of the Napa big boys.
