Notes from the Winemaker: With its intense purple core, this wine invites you to inhale deeply. Look for a boisterous, concentrated bouquet of blackberry, chocolate, cherry, and toast leading to a focused yet elegant palate of great complexity and depth. Although this could be called our most elegant wine of 2006, the fruit is hugely ripe leaving the impression of sweet dark berries and chocolate through the long finish.
For optimal tasting, open this bottle one hour before serving, or decant.
