This deeply colored red wine delivers on the aromatics: lots of sweet, brambly blackberry and saddle leather. The flavors are an intense mix of boysenberry, plum and blackberry jam, vanilla spice and nutmeg. The grape’s natural juiciness is mouth filling and a nice counter point to the dense tannins.
