This Biodynamic estate wine is sourced from our terraced hillside abundant with obsidian rock. This black rock helps ripen fruit from the ground up creating a classic European style of elegance and power. Aromas of sweet tobacco and warm blackberry compote rise from the glass. This wine’s structure comes together on its signature glassy finish and edgy fine grained tannins.

Framed with bold flavors on the entry, this luscious wine has concentrated aromas of black cherry, chocolate, and tobacco, while notes of cedar and cardamom spice are richly layered amongst dark fruit flavors. The crushed-velvet tannins are well structured and give way to a long finish.
