Aromas of boysenberry and dark cherry open, followed by delicate floral notes of violets and roses, and a hint of exotic spice. The palate echoes the brambly dark fruit, with plum, currant, and berry flavors, nuanced by cured meat and espresso. Fine tannins and balanced acidity create a silky texture, leading to a spiced finish of licorice and cardamom. This medium-bodied wine is elegant and lithe.
