Reckoning

Opening with deep aromas of blackberry, black plum, and blueberry layered with savory notes of smoked meat, black olive, and dried herbs. These rich tones are accented by more perfumed notes of violet, cracked pepper, and cocoa. Full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, ripe dark fruit flavors of boysenberry and black cherry are balanced by a savory core of espresso, spice, and subtle earth. Firm yet polished tannins with a plush mid-palate are integrated nicely with gravel and stoney flavors. The finish is long and expressive, lingering with dark chocolate, mineral tones, and warm spice, showcasing both power and freshness characteristic of the Templeton Gap District.
