  Tasting Notes
  Smooth and opulent, this wine provides a heady tasting experience with intense flavors of blackberry and mocha mingling with hints cedar, currant, sweet oak and eucalyptus. The ever-present mineral essence, an integral part of the Bradford Mountain terroir, gives the wine additional layers of structure, elegance and finesse. As the layers converge mid-palate they create a deliciously long, satisfying finish.
