"Inky ruby. Potent smoke- and mineral-accented aromas of dark berries, cherry liqueur and pungent flowers pick up a hint of peppery spices as the wine opens up. Spicy and taut on entry, then deeper and broader in the midpalate, offering concentrated blackberry, cola and violet pastille flavors that are given lift and cut by a core of juicy acidity. Finishes minerally and very long, displaying well-knit tannins and a resonating floral note. - Josh Raynolds
