This blend opens with sweet, bright fruit – red cherry, sugar plum, and fresh ripe blackberry – and hints of dried flowers recalling roses. Very nice mouthfeel on the palate, elegant in structure, with a silky smooth texture from start to finish. Loads of black pepper and smoke with some dark toasty barrel notes, sweet oak flavors and caramel. Bright lift on the finish, with great acidity that brings the rich red fruit back on the finish… Completely mouthwatering!
