Delivering a deft, vivid quality, this red is bright and lively on the palate, while offering a dark, concentrated core of pureed black raspberry and blackberry fruit, crushed rosemary and thyme, licorice, candied violet and graphite notes. Features fine-grained tannins, which serve as a taut, well-integrated frame for the expressive flavor profile, with a minerally streak of crushed stone lingering on the long finish.
