Tasting Notes

This Santa Ynez Valley blend displays a deep garnet color with violet highlights, reflecting its youthful vigor. The nose reveals layers of blackberry compote, dark chocolate, and warm baking spices, with subtle hints of tobacco and cedar. On the palate, concentrated flavors of black cherry and plum are supported by well-integrated tannins and bright acidity, creating excellent structure and balance. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of espresso, vanilla, and a touch of smoky minerality.
