Exquisite layered aromatics of black cherry, black currant and licorice, with a hint of thyme and warm earth tones lead to dense savory flavors of black currant, blackberry, freshly picked sage, mint, and huckleberry that linger forever on this complex palate. Firm, dusty, lush tannins are balanced by a nice touch of oak, acidity, and earthiness on the finish. As is typical of Champoux Vineyard, this is a very elegant but powerful Red Blend that will cellar for quite a long time.
