Complex, layered, and elegant! Aromas of boysenberry, Bing cherry, El Dorado black plum, and wild blackberry are accented by scents of star anise, violets, fresh earth, thyme, and baking spices. On the palate, this wine has a juicy dark fruit core and notes of cedar pencil shavings, dried rose petal, and cocoa powder dust.
