Precise aromas of baked boysenberry, smashed granite and red flowers make for a rounded nose. The palate is elegantly framed by pinpoint tannins, starting with flavors of lavender, violet and lilac that lead into a spicy hint of white pepper and a fresh currant tone.
Aromas of raspberry, blackberry and violets, framed with subtle nuances of tobacco and cedar box, are followed by flavors of dark cherry, raspberry preserve and chocolate. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a pleasing acidity and clean finish, making it an exceptionally food-friendly wine.
