"Bright ruby. Subdued but pure aromas of blackberry pie and violet. Very pure and clean, with nicely integrated juicy acidity giving a sappy character to the flavors of boysenberry, violet and wild herbs. More powerful if less fleshy than the 2012 Connor Lee blend, with a strong spine of tannins and acids to support a graceful evolution in bottle. - Stephen Tanzer"

"Bright dark red. Aromatically pure, nuanced nose combines purple fruits, flowers, cocoa powder and a meaty nuance. Suave, seamless and intense, offering lovely ripeness as well as superb energy to the high-pitched flavors of red fruits, spices and flowers. Finishes tactile and chocolatey, with refined tannins and excellent length. Boasts lovely balance for a graceful evolution in bottle. - Stephen Tanzer"
