TASTING NOTES:

Nose: Inviting aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, and mulberry layered with hints of vanilla, sweet spice, and light smokiness.

Palate: Medium- to full-bodied with juicy red and dark berry fruit. Soft, well-integrated tannins support notes of mocha, baking spice, and subtle oak.

Finish: Smooth and rounded with lingering fruit sweetness, gentle spice, and a touch of toasted oak.
