TASTING NOTES:
Blackberries and violets kick off a parade of aromas that include wet gravel and t-bones grilling over charcoal briquettes. Grippy tannins and gentle acidity provide the backdrop for tangy pomegranate seed, coriander and pine needle tea flavors. The wine has an oak quality that mixes cedar and a bit of caramel.

This shows violets, wild berries, sour cherries, sandalwood and peaches on the nose, followed by a cool, juicy and mouthwatering palate. Medium-bodied with fine yet firm tannins. Drink or hold.
