Artwork on label is “Tool of Dissent” by Saber, a legend in the graffiti world and an urban art pioneer. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Deep aroma of well ripened dark fruits with hints of vanilla, toast, spice and rose petal. A explosion of very ripe black raspberry and blackberry fruit flavors greets the palate. Well-structured tannic backbone with a touch of oak and some finishing persistence. Powerful fruit is the main feature of this wine. Score: 89. Reviewed September 24, 2017
