Certitude 2017

Inky ruby. Perfumed aromas of fresh, black/blue fruits, cracked pepper and violet are sharpened by a smoky mineral flourish. Sweet, spice-laced cassis and cherry flavors show very good depth and an energizing spine of juicy acidity. Plays power off of finesse smoothly, finishing with supple tannins and lingering blue fruit character. (all whole clusters and no new oak)
