Deep, brilliant purple. Ripe dark fruit and floral aromas take on vanilla and baking spice nuances as the wine opens up. Juicy and expansive on the palate, offering concentrated blackberry, blueberry, cola and spice-cake flavors that turn sweeter on the back half. Shows fine clarity and spicy lift on the sharply focused, persistent finish, which features velvety tannins and repeating florality.
