WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTES:
In the glass, this wine shows great depth of colour with
red and blue tinged qualities. Aromatically, the wine
expresses the warm, bright conditions of this vintage.
Notes of dark blue and red fruits are layered with hints
of licorice. The targeted use of French and American oak
offers hints of cedar, clove and a touch of smoke. After
an initial burst of fruit, a persistent layer of fine-grained
tannins leads to a long and generous finish. Likely the
most structured Destinae to date, this timeless wine,
while approachable upon release, will surely benefit from
an extra year or two in the cellar.
ENJOY FROM: 4-12 years from vintage.
