The Character

Aromas Black fruit, cherry, mineral, truffle, spices, cocoa, tobacco
Mouthfeel Silky mid-palate, long finish
Tasting Notes "Deep garnet. Aromas of ripe red berries, cherry pit and succulent herbs are complemented by subtle vanilla, tobacco and floral nuances. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering spice- and smoke-laced red currant and bitter cherry flavors that flesh out and deepen on the back half. Fully mature but by no means fading, showing strong finishing energy and smooth, even tannins framing lingering red fruit and floral notes." --Josh Raynolds
