Visually, the wine is garnet with glints of purple. The nose evokes a floralness. Violet. Jasmine. Lavender. Blueberry, boysenberry, brambly fruit, cinnamon, clove, and cedar also dominate. The palate matches. Violet, jasmine, and lavender persists. Raspberry, boysenberry, pencil lead, graphite, sage and green pepper emanate. The texture is creamy and the tannins, pervasive and gritty.
