“Glistening violet. Blackberry, cherry pit, licorice and a hint of tobacco on the nose. Gently sweet and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry, dark berry and cola flavors that deepen through the midpalate. Closes broad, subtly tannic and fleshy, with ripe dark fruit notes lingering. – Josh Raynolds”
