Attractive, fresh, brambly summer berries run from red to blue and purple tones with cocoa powder and chocolate on offer, too. The palate has a fresh, supple delivery of uplifting, layered tannins that really elevate the fruit presence to impressive heights. Mulberry and boysenberry flavors meld into spiced-chocolate and cocoa notes on the finish. Elegance with power here. JS
Very perfumed, showing aromas of wild blackberries, blackcurrants, tobacco, graphite and cedar. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with refined tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of boysenberries, mulberries, mocha and olive tapenade. Very refined and fresh with an underlying power. JS
