The rich Terra Rossa soil of the Kedesh Valley is well drained and abundant in vital minerals contributing to this wine's earthy and robust full body. The wine is a deep dark ruby red with cherry hues and a rich round body. Core flavors of black forest fruit, cassis and blueberries with chocolate, vanilla and coffee are pronounced. Notes of aged wood combined with balanced acidity lead to a long complex finish. This wine was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels and once bottled, an additional year in the winery cellars giving it refinement and complexity.
