Aromas of violets, iris, ripe raspberries, dark cherries, rose, blueberries, wild strawberries and wet stones all emerge from the glass when the wine is first poured. As the wine opens, more savory aromas of wood smoke, cured tobacco, earth, sandalwood and cinnamon add complexity to the original aromatics.

Sleek and structured, with vibrant cherry and guava flavors that draw in black tea and dusky spice accents, building toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2029. 6,412 cases made.

This shows cola, blackberries, elderberries, bark and walnuts. The palate has some good concentration with chewy tannins and a fruit-forward finish. Drink in 2020

Rich with black cherry fruit, this pops up quickly with forward flavors backed with herbal highlights. Lemon rind, wet stone and breakfast tea accents trail out the finish.
