Medium reddish purple color in the glass. The nose is
flush with earthy black cherry and black berry fruits complimented by
notes of spice and clay pot. The mid weight black cherry, boysenberry
and blackberry fruit is well-ripened and juicy, framed by well-matched
ruddy tannins. Gorgeous harmony, finishing with a burst of lip-smacking dark fruit aromatic goodness. This
beauty definitely has an earthy tone.
