Juicy blackberries, fresh currants, morello cherries, and mission fig expand on the palate, mingling with hints of dried violets, licorice, sandalwood, and spiced tobacco. The wine’s tightly wound frame is supported by firm, ripe tannins— reminiscent of toasted hazelnuts and cedar— and finishes with fantastic freshness, vibrancy, and lingering minerality.
