While deeper and more intense in color than the Alyssa, the color spectrum of the Thomas runs more in that of red than blue. The intensity of the color announces the warm earthy aromatics which are coupled with layers of dark chocolate, blackberry and blueberry mingling with notes of lavender and mace. The attack on the pallet is opulent fruit, bright acidity and silky tannins. The heavy toast of the French oak tames and smoothes the bold grape tannins resulting in a wine with the texture of a fine chocolate. This vintage of Thomas wants to rest in the glass or decanter and to be savored at room temperature and shows good aging potential.
