Sipsy
Dark red in color; on the nose the wine presents inviting aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and warm clove, with subtle background notes of coffee, vanilla, and a whisper of dark chocolate. As it opens, the aromatic profile broadens to reveal hints of tobacco leaf, ironstone mineral, and a fine toasted oak presence that adds complexity without dominating the fruit. With time in the glass, the bouquet grows more layered, showing delicate wisps of barrel spice, dried violets, and a trace of cocoa nib that accents the fruit-forward core.
On the palate, the wine delivers a generous, fruit-forward experience: bright cherries and blackberries form the core, supported by a chassis of refined, gently grained tannins and balanced acidity. The mouthfeel is generous yet elegant—round, velvety, and slightly chewy—creating a seamless arc of flavor from first sip through the mid-palate and into the finish. The fruit remains vivid, while subtle smoky, toasted notes emerge mid-palate, lending depth and a noir edge that harmonizes with the natural sweetness of the fruit. A touch of vanilla and spice from the oak lingers into a lingering, slightly smoky finish, accompanied by a quiet mineral lift that hints at terroir.
The overall impression is of balance and poise: bright fruit preserved by crisp acidity, soft tannin grip that promises aging potential, and a finish long enough to invite another sip. This wine pairs nicely with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses, and it rewards a bit of patience in the bottle for those who enjoy more integrated spice and a smoother finale with time.
