Color: Ruby hue with a bright edge. Aroma: The aromas in this vintage jump from the glass. Fresh and evocative, the nose suggests cherry tart straight from the oven. Big and bright cherry, plum, and cranberry interlace with savory notes of gingerbread, sage, and fire-toasted oak, subtly smoky with a hint of minerality. Subtle notes of smoke complete the aromatics. A seamless combination of bright fruit and earthy notes that are fresh, forward, and intriguing. Flavor: This wine wakes up the palate with bright notes of sour cherry and cranberry. The fruit is framed with hints of toasted bread and smoke, followed by ginger and earthy notes of sage on the mid-palate. Baking spice notes draw you further into the glass to explore that darker plum character that is nicely structured with firm acidity, balance, and a lingering finish of red raspberry, flinty smoke, and toasty oak.
