Expressive and aromatically alluring, with a complex bouquet of black licorice, rose petal, powdered cinnamon, violets, fresh cut cedar and hints of tea spice. Plush, palate-coating flavors of silky boysenberry and black currant follow showing intensity and the layering of beautiful textures and finely woven tannins. Like cashmere in a glass, there is a persistent and distinguished sophistication to this intellectually compelling wine.
