On the nose, this wine produces a melody of fruit, starting with red cherry notes leading to darker black cherry. On the palate, layers of black pepper spice dominate the entry supported by a rich, fuller-than-normal body of black raspberry and dark cherry fruit. Hints of cloves and dark plum in the finish are supported by well-integrated tannins, which expose lingering notes of anise and creme de cassis.
