Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Feb 21
Opaque ruby. Smoky, mineral-accented boysenberry and cherry qualities on the nose; suave oak spice and violet qualities emerge with air. Gently chewy, focused and sweet, offering sappy black and blue fruit flavors and building floral and spice accents. The long, spice-accented finish features youthfully gripping tannins and leaves subtle vanilla and floral notes behind.
