Tasting Panel
Burnished black raspberry and graphite form a bond on a foundation of dark chocolate and sweet tobacco. White pepper outlines rose petal on the well-structured palate before perky acidity and a creamy weightiness highlight the lengthy finish.
Wine Enthusiast
The dense nose on this wine offers ripe aromas of boysenberry, elderberry, root beer and cola. The palate is quite thick and extremely bold, pairing baked blackberry with coffee cake and cinnamon cookie flavors.
