The wine spent 14 months in new French oak prior to extended bottle age before release... all for $33 !
The palate gives concentrated cassis with cocoa and earth lifted by cedar and vanillin spice, tannins are drying and derived from both fruit and oak, which gives generosity and texture. The finish is steeped in black fruits with old leather and cedar providing a wonderful accompaniment to the fruit.
