"Bright violet. Smoke-accented blueberry and cherry pit aromas pick up peppery spice lavender game and mineral nuances with air. Fleshy and broad on the palate offering sweet nicely concentrated dark fruit flavors plus cracked pepper and bitter chocolate notes. Spreads out steadily on a juicy expansive finish that's framed by dusty slow-building tannins. - Josh Raynolds"
