Harvested at the peak of ripeness and aged for 18 months in French oak barrel, 50% new, Scattered Peaks offers intense black and red fruit aromas bolstered by hints of baking spice and toasted oak. On the palate, dark brooding fruit flavors of black cherry and cassis intermingle with notes of anise and violet. Firm and silky tannins with a touch of vanilla support a long, enjoyable finish.
