Winemaker David Dobson Notes
Brimming with cherry, blackberry, currant and tree-ripened plum flavors. This satin soft wine has
layers of clove, anise, vanilla and dark chocolate serving as delicious counterpoints to the persistent
fruit flavors. Supple, mature tannins and a fruit-enlivening acid balance make for a long finish
and guarantee that this wine will please for years to come.
