“Vivid red. Ripe red and blue fruits, candied rose, vanilla and a hint of five-spice powder on the deeply perfumed nose. Juicy acidity provides lift and structure to concentrated black raspberry, boysenberry and cola flavors that open up slowly and become spicier on the back half. Delivers power as well as finesse and finishes impressively long and sweet, showing resonating red fruit character and smooth, harmonious tannins.”
