Potent dark berry preserve, potpourri and incense aromas show excellent delineation and take on exotic Indian spice and smoky mineral nuances with air. Sweet and seamless in the mouth, offering concentrated yet surprisingly lively cherry liqueur, blackberry spicecake and violet pastille flavors and a musky touch of licorice. Smoothly blends richness and energy and finishes spicy and very long, with pliant tannins adding framework and closing grip.
Rocking levels of black and blue fruit as well as subtle violets, spring flowers, and classic Paso Robles minerality all emerge from this layered, medium to full-bodied effort that shines both for its richness and elegance.
