Deep brilliant red. Highly perfumed, mineral- and spice-laced red and blue fruit, incense, violet candy and savory herb aromas show impressive clarity and pick up a subtle vanilla note as the wine stretches out. Sweet, seamless and penetrating on the palate, offering powerful cherry, boysenberry, cola and black cardamom flavors braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Dusty, slow-building tannins frame the dark-berry-driven finish, which shows outstanding clarity and minerally lift.
