“Deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts boldly from the glass with notes of blackcurrant cream, blueberry pie, and baking spice, along with hints of chocolate box and potpourri. Full-bodied, rich, and opulent, it has a velvety texture and tons of spicy fruit on the tip of the tongue, leading to a fruity finish. ” (Wine Advocate 2018 - Lisa Perrotti-Brown)
