Donning a dark rosewood-red color, this wine slowly reveals aromas of dried raspberries, Satsuma plum and a touch of sweet baking spices. A full entry coats the palate emanating lush flavors of warm blackberry pie, ripe purple plum and Tahitian vanilla bean. Broad tannins, bright acidity and a decadent creaminess support a generous finish accented with notes of freshly-ground Masala chai spices. This wine is beautiful now but will age elegantly for at least 20 years.
