Aromas of blackberry, plum, and black cherry are layered with hints of cocoa and baking spice. The palate reveals rich dark fruit flavors supported by notes of vanilla and subtle oak. Medium to full-bodied with smooth, well-integrated tannins, the wine offers both structure and approachability. Balanced acidity keeps the wine lively and polished. The finish is long and supple with lingering dark fruit and spice.
