"Full ruby. Smoky cherry and black raspberry preserve aromas show very good clarity, while hints of garrigue and pungent flowers add complexity. Lush and creamy in texture, offering appealingly sweet red berry preserve and lavender pastille flavors and a spicy jolt of white pepper. A smoky quality comes up on the persistent finish, which features darker fruit character and chewy tannins.- Josh Raynolds"
