Producer tasting notes: "AROMATICS ROMATICS: Mouthwatering, dense and mysterious. Intense black/ripe fruits, sage, and herbs de Provence. A dusting of bitter sweet chocolate and floral tones. ON THE PALATE: N THE PALATE: Judicious amounts of dark cherry grab your attention upon entry. Lively acidity and supportive tannins carry the rich fruit character towards the midpalate. The dark cherry tones gain intensity and focus. Once harmony is achieved, the fl avors slowly melt into a supportive and silky finish. A beautiful fusion of intensity and grace." - Kosta Browne Winery
