Medium ruby in colour with a medium to medium+ intense nose.
A juicy and complex wine from Napa
Positives: This wine features cedar, black currants, plum, blackberry, blueberry, dark chocolate, cassis, tobacco, spinach and leather. Medium+ body and tannins with good acidity & a long length.
Negatives: There’s some heat from the 14.5% alcohol
Interesting Point: Don’t be confused with the Ontario winery of the same name. This winery celebrated 10 years in 2010.
Drink now or in the next 7 years on its own or pair it with parmesan crusted sirloin steak.
