This dark-colored wine is a serious, intense, and concentrated wine. Aromas of cherries, minerals, fresh herbs, stones, and Asian spices give way to a bold, wide, and thick medium-to-full-bodied personality. Profound and juicy layers of fat blackberries, cassis, and toasted oak are found in this structured and powerful offering. Its admirable finish is loaded with beautifully ripe fruit and supple tannins. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2008. Importer: Neal Rosenthal, Select Vineyards, Shekomeko, NY; tel. (800) 910-1990.
