Aromas of ripe red cherry and toasted oak overlay a layer of toasted marshmallow, minerals, caramel and then baking spice. In the mouth, the wine is smooth and balanced, creamy, with supporting acidity, and the cherry flavors linger in a complex mix of fruit, spice and savory notes. The aftertaste is balanced and elegant, with classic notes of cherry compote and toasty oak on the finish.
