Enormously fruit-driven on the nose in aromas of ripe black fig and cassis, this wine is laden with baking spices on the palate. It’s clean and vibrant, if a bit heavy. However, its dense and creamy palate will attract admirers of a rich red wine style. The aromatics and flavors collide to contribute loganberry, black plum and fig that linger on the medium finish. Drink now–2021.
