WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
Glass-staining purple color. Explosive, alluring scents of blueberry, boysenberry, pipe tobacco, licorice and vanilla bean. Lush and broad but juicy and firmly built. Suave candied dark fruit flavors accented by floral and Asian spice qualities. Finished broad, juicy and impressively long, with echoing boysenberry and spice notes.
TASTING NOTES:
Aromas of raspberries, blackberries, chocolate, nutmeg and dried herbs. Full-bodied, ripe and plush with firm, creamy tannins. Rich and fleshy, but the alcohol is well balanced. Polished chocolate and praline notes to close. Vegan. Drink or hold.
