The Color: Dark and dense, like a Luxardo cherry dropped into the glass—inky, mysterious, and unapologetically intense. As dark as the inside of a cow (you won’t forget it once you’ve heard it).
The Nose: Rugged and soulful, with aromas of worn leather, dusty graphite pencil shavings, and petrichor—the smell of rain hitting dry earth. Ripe dark fruits lurk beneath it all, grounding the wine with a brooding depth.
The Palate: Dark fruits and mountain blueberries charge in first, followed by savory notes of iodine and graphite that give this wine serious edge. Medium tannins provide structure without stealing the spotlight. The finish unfolds with spicy cardamom and a lingering, tangy fruit note that sticks around just long enough to make you pause… and then reach for another sip.
