Bright red-ruby. A touch of meaty wildness and mocha reduction to the aromas of blackberry, violet and minerals. Juicier and darker in its fruit character than the Amauta Cabernet, with harmonious acidity and a touch of herbs perking up the musky middle palate. The dark berry flavors carry through to the firm finish, but some menthol and herb qualities are keeping this wine clenched in the early going.
