Alluring, aromatic and age-worthy, the 2018 Grand Passage invites attention from the first swirl, displaying gorgeous aromas of huckleberry, wild blackberry, blue plum and violets, with notions of bay leaf, juniper berry and cedar leaf woven into the core of dark fruit. The wonderful mix of sweet and savory elements continues on the beautifully structured palate, where bright acidity and velvety, mouth-filling tannins create a rich and dynamic framework for the luxurious floral and dark berry flavors.
