Also aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. Dark inky purple in color with on the nose cassis, toasted oak, ripe boysenberries and wild blueberries as well as black cherries and fine dark chocolate. Full-bodied, rich and layered with on the palate again cassis and black cherries followed by hints of wet dirt, intense yet balanced acidity with chocolate covered cherries, cedar and searing tannins on a very long and plush finish. 14.5% Abv.
