Displays a beautiful dark red and purplish hue. Medium to full-bodied, elegant, and fantastically balanced. Supple tannins provide structure to the soft, rounded mouthfeel. Aromas of blackberry preserves fill the nose, lifted by red cherry, kirsch, and crème de cassis, along with graham cracker, cedar, and cigar box. The palate is packed with layers of boysenberries, blackberry cobbler, and an array of red berry fruits combined with spice accents (licorice, cardamon, vanilla) and well-integrated toasted, sweet oak, leading to a long, luxurious finish.
