"Brilliant ruby. Smoke-accented dark berries, cherry and licorice on the perfumed nose. Juicy blackberry and bitter cherry flavors are complemented by a touch of cracked pepper and an olive nuance. The licorice and floral notes repeat on a nicely persistent finish shaped by supple, even tannins. - Josh Raynolds"
