"Fresh mulberries, violets, dried herbs, bark, vanilla and baking spices on the nose. A full-bodied red with tightly wound tannins. Firm and chewy with a dark character to the palate and quite a juicy, compact finish."

"A juicy red, with chalky tannins, showing hints of vanilla, licorice and toast, which add flash and flair to coulised fruit flavors of boysenberry and blackberry. Medium- to full-bodied and balanced, with a subtle finish that showcases wild herbs and spices."
