Crushed blackberries, grilled sage and flowery underbrush aromas...balances ripe red and blue fruits against zesty acids and spiced citrus, all while soothing the palate with its silken textures. Violet candies and lavender tones cascade throughout the long, darkly floral finale as chalky tannins slowly fade. While fruit-focused, this is beautifully balanced.
Impressively fragrant nose full of racy red cherries, strawberries and licorice spices. Pretty juicy and smoothly wound with a medium body on the palate. Spicy and fruity finish to close.
...scents of Italian plum, strawberry candy, mushroom and garrigue with savory undertones...medium-bodied palate is somewhat rustic and chalky with ripe fruit character and a savory finish with a touch of nagging bitterness.
...darker, earthy core of smoked red and black fruits, leather, graphite, and roasted herbs...carries to a medium to full-bodied blend with good overall balance, some solid, slightly chewy tannins, and a good finish.
