Winery review: "Aged in American oak for four months. Bright ruby. Powerful, spicy aromas of dark berry preserves and lavender. Fleshy and round on the palate, offering spicy blackberry and blueberry flavors and gaining sweetness with air. Finishes smooth, long and slightly warm." - Vintage Cellar
My review: Heavy berries on the nose, darker berries like raspberry and blueberry. A little cedar made itself known, hints of chocolate also. Great nose and on the palate I was impressed with the complexity. Flavors of dark berries with some slight vegetal and black spice notes. This wine is a go.
