“Bright violet. Incisive, smoke-tinged raspberry, bitter cherry and peppery spice scents, along with subtle floral and game nuances. Chewy and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and red berry flavors that take a sweeter turn as the wine stretches out. Juicy acidity adds lift to a long, youthfully tannic finish that leaves a hint of earthy sassafras behind. -- Josh Raynolds”
