...Asian plum sauce, black cherries, spice box and a touch of oak. Full-bodied, rich...
A very fresh nose mixes both upper and lower register fruit elements that include plum, black raspberry and red currant aromas that are tinged with just enough spice nuances to add a touch of elegance. There is an appealing sense of verve to the delicious and nicely detailed medium weight flavors that possess good depth and length on the dry-in-the-best-sense finish. Lovely and understated.
Wild strawberry, cardamom and clove vie for attention around boysenberry and blueberry ripeness. Intense oak dominates at first, before bowing down to the layers of soft violet and rose.
