Tasting note

Glimmering ruby. Spice-accented black and blue fruits, violet and smoky minerals on the perfumed nose. Juicy and focused in the mouth, offering lively boysenberry, bitter cherry and cracked pepper flavors that turn sweeter as the wine stretches out. The dark berry and floral notes repeat strongly on an impressively persistent finish that's shaped by smooth, even tannins.

Score: 92-94
