Bold and spicy, this wine has a vibrant and enticing nose packed with perfectly ripe, black fruit. The palate is weighty, with concentrated blackberry flavors and plenty of new oak to match, generously laced with notes of nougat and maple syrup. The strappy tannins focus the full-bodied palate while the moderate acidity drags the flavors into a moderate finish. Drink now—2020.
