The deep, dark, and purple color associates with aromas of black fruits, a black cherry core with a frame of smoked meats, fresh roasted coffee beans and cedar box around the edges. Very slight hints of cocoa powder, black pepper and Asian spices develop as the wine aerates in the glass. The Syrah provides the backbone and roast meat quality, the Sangiovese the fruit, the old-vine dry farmed Carignane the cocoa and spice, and the Gewurz for smoothness.
