Vivid ruby. A complex bouquet displays fresh dark berry and potpourri aromas, along with hints of candied licorice and vanilla. Smooth and spicy on the palate, offering sweet boysenberry, cherry and floral pastille flavors that are underscored by a smoky mineral element. Subtle tannins build slowly on the long, focused finish, which shows impressive tension and leaves behind juicy blue fruit and allspice notes.

Fragrant black-raspberry character and a succulent but lively palate with a crisp yet juicy finish that pulls you back for more. Drink or hold.
