Deep garnet in color with aromas of blackberry, current, violet, spice and black cherry. On the palate a refreshing lighter quality with soft tannins, juicy blackberry, cherry and a touch of spice to add to the finish.

Fermented with native yeasts and aged 18 months in neutral French oak before bottling, unlined and unfiltered.
