Dusty garnet color. Aromas of chocolate coconut macaroon, berry pie crust, chocolate covered raisins, and spiced nuts with a full body and a long chocolate berries and orange peels, creme brulee, incense, and cinnamon finish. A beautiful and engaging example of rich Howell Mountain fruit driving this pleasure-packed, chocolatey oak-tinged wine.
