This wine was selected from three exceptional barrels in our cellar that exhibited a perfect trinity of rich-flavored red and black fruits, silky tannins and balanced acidity. The bouquet developed beautifully with a full year of bottle age, offering scents of springtime flowers with candied red fruit and baking spices.
