Notes

Sticky pomegranate and sweet chocolate acai are the first of a long line of well-integrated and layered aromas that collide with an intriguing floral note of roasted bok choy and a sweet lychee note. Toffee and fudge decadence, roasted coffee, and lavender essence give impressive diversity. The palate is bright in the entry with gushing flavors of gogi berry and mulberry that progress into the mid with textured notes of dried plum and juicy cranberry with a spicy edge of sweet peppercorn. The textures are broad and velvety, well integrated with tactile oak carrying additional notes of vanilla and cedar bark. The wine finishes long and silky with mineral notes of gravel and iron.
