Deep, lurid red. Expansive aromas of black raspberry, mocha, potpourri and Asian spices take on a smoky nuance as the wine opens up. Sappy, concentrated and seamless in texture, offering energetic red and dark berry preserve, licorice pastille and candied rose flavors and a touch of cola. Finishes with impressive length, lingering dark berry character and harmonious tannins that fold smoothly into the lush fruit. – Josh Raynolds
