Inky ruby. Pungent, oak-accented aromas of blackberry and cherry liqueur, along with a steadily building vanilla quality. Lush dark fruit flavors show good depth and supple texture and reveal a spicy nuance on the back end. The cherry note repeats on the gently tannic, oak-spiced finish, which lingers with strong tenacity.

This red blend of six varieties is zesty in style, starting with fresh boysenberry and lavender aromas. The floral aspects grow on the palate, where violet and lilac flavors meet with boysenberry sorbet.
