Stratus shows the varietal traits with a deep crimson color and aromas of blackberry, cassis, lavender and a hint of vanilla. The flavors are pleasing, with notes of red licorice, cocoa, and purple fruit. The wine’s appeal continues with sensations of pressed berries, toasted nuts, toffee and graphite, all leading deftly into a juicy, round integrated tannin finish.
