"The wine exhibits a royal purple hue in the glass that is nearly opaque. Seductive aromas of spice –dusted blackberry compote, sandalwood, nutmeg and lilac emerge in concert. On the palate, there are saturated fruit and spice notes that compliment each other in equal parts. This wine has a lot of intensity and vivacious energy from the balanced acidity that carries the palate trajectory from front to back with a clean, sleek finish. There is a regal balance of hedonistic fruit notes and structural components that make this wine memorable. You will certainly be thinking about it well after the last sip." - Thomas Rivers Brown, winemaker.
