This is a Cabernets and Merlot blend with aromas then flavours of blackberry and tobacco, dark plums, very toasty wood and cocoa powder suggestions. Dry textured wine with medium+ tannins and acidity, a dried grass and herb layer, tobacco then dark berries and gravelly soil moments. The wine finishes with a fruit and violet note. Overall balanced and well made. Drinking best from today and through 2025+.
