Fragrances of plum, sage, and cassis with hints of tobacco box and warm spices. Flavors of Bing cherry entice the front palate as the hillside fruit expression takes over, fusing flavors of blackberry and dark chocolate across the supple yet structured palate. Ripe strawberry and creme brulee linger on the finish. Lush and approachable now, this wine will continue to soften and develop over the next five to ten years. Enjoy with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or perhaps a rich wild mushroom risotto.
