Alpha Domus 2005 The Navigator

(Merlot/Cab Sauv/Cab Franc/Malbec)
A complex aroma of ripe berry fruit, plums, violet, licorice and hints of leather on the nose. Influences of sweet vanilla & toast result from oak barrel fermentation.
On the palate, plum & blackberry are supported by clove & spicy notes. Game & leathery characters add complexity. The ripe fruit, sweet oak and firm tannins create a robust, complex wine with excellent length.
