Alluring and aromatic, this wine’s aromas of huckleberry, wild blackberry and blue plum invite attention from the first swirl. Finely woven into the core of fruit are notions of bay leaf, juniper berry and cedar leaf, creating a wonderfully complex bouquet that is equal parts sweet and savory. On the palate, hints of violet and potpourri accentuate the floral theme, while bright acid and mouth-filling tannins create a sensation of energy and richness. Plush, nuanced and velvety, it delivers serious weight and structure that will reward long-term cellaring.
