The color is reminiscent of a beautiful dark plum garnet.  On the nose, your senses awaken with the aromas of dark chocolate, blackberries and vanilla beans.  The first sip envelopes your mouth in silky velvet, with flavors of bittersweet chocolate, spices and black pepper combined with a touch of dark cherries.  The harmony between the acid and tannins is like a symphony, with the extended and focused mouth feel the resonating last note played.
