Tasting Notes: Somewhere between the color of red current and dark eggplant, this wine shows lovely legs when swirled in the glass. The nose opens to notes of flint, followed by more traditional fresh berries and floral undertones. On the palate, a rich and complex mixture of berries – blackberry, huckleberry and boysenberry - are followed by oak and spice. A smooth texture, good tannic structure, and bright acidity make this one a keeper!
