... High-pitched red berry, floral and star anise scents, complicated by subtle sassafras and vanilla qualities and building minerality. Shows excellent clarity and lift on the palate, offering sappy raspberry, boysenberry and spicecake flavors that become sweeter with air. The mineral note adds cut to the incisive finish, which is firmed by silky, fine-grained tannins.
...bright raspberry and cherry overtones atop a layering of earth and spice. Thickly structured, it finishes with tart cherry.
...floral in character with spiced herbal tea and plum scents adding breadth...sleek mouth feel of the delineated and vibrant medium-bodied flavors that deliver a dusty, palate coating and firmly structured finish that evidences a touch of youthful asperity...
