More dark fruit character than the other wines, with a slight herbal/menthol note from G2 North's inherent herbaceousness.

On the palate, a beautiful burst of acidity creates a wave of freshness that drives the wine across the tongue and makes the mouth water, even as big, chewy tannins take effect. As it warms, barrel spice emerges — cacao, clove, and cigar box in turn. The finish demonstrates the full spectrum of texture, from drying to mouthwatering to polished satisfaction.
