Inky-garnet to the eye, this wine has a nose of blackberry jam, caramel, and dried mountainside herbs. It is spicy on entry, offering bold clove and licorice top notes joined by black cherry, purple plum and milk chocolate. A web of silky tannins glides across the palate and dissolves into a smooth finish. — Mike DeSimone
Product Description:
Ruby-red. Vibrant blackberry, potpourri and peppery spice scents are complemented by suggestions of candied licorice and smoky minerals. Concentrated black and blue fruit flavors show very good clarity and a touch of sweet floral pastilles. Silky, slow-building tannins add shape and grip to the long, sweet finish, which leaves a note of dark fruit liqueur behind.-- Josh Raynolds.
