This is rich and ripe but comforting, like a blanket on a cold winter's night. There's a well of cherry, plum, chocolate, mint, cedar and some savory spice. The palate is plush and satiny in texture, with a good lick of oak influence. The tannins are powerful but they don't overwhelm. It's a weeknight wine for the big red lovers in your life.

Leans into notes of toast, cedar and mahogany, with thick, drying tannins and black tea-infused dried berry flavors. Drink now. 8,000 cases made, 450 cases imported.
