Black plum, black tea, vanilla and sawdust form the nose on this wine. The palate is loaded with black currant, cherry and blackberry, with bright, well-balanced acidity. A vivid apple tone marks the finish where acidity builds to a crest. Tannins are lightly sandy throughout, offering a good base along with pepper and wood tones. The finish lingers long.
