Tasting Notes:
Color: Deep, brooding garnet with a sinister hint of violet, suggesting both youth and depth.
Nose: A haunting bouquet of ripe blackberries and dark cherries, enveloped by a veil of black pepper, vanilla, and a touch of ominous toasted oak.
Palate: The palate is ensnared by a luxurious blend of fruit-forward flavors and earthy undertones. The Zinfandel strikes first with a vivid burst of berry flavors, while the Malbec weaves a smooth, velvety texture and rich plum notes into the tapestry. Petit Verdot adds a menacing depth with its firm tannins and subtle dark chocolate. The wine's structure is both refined and formidable, leading to a lingering, tantalizing finish with echoes of spice and oak that whisper secrets on the tongue.
