"Dark ruby. Aromas of ripe red and blue fruits, lavender and baking spices, plus a hint of smokiness in the background. Appealingly sweet and seamless on the palate, offering juicy black raspberry, cherry cola and floral pastille flavors that firm up slowly on the back half. A long, smooth finish shows very good clarity, discreet tannins and recurring spiciness."

"A vibrant nose with ripe dark berries, as well as an earthy thread. The palate has such rich, fleshy fruit that sails on fine, velvety tannin. Impressive purity, too. Drink or hold."

Lively and focused on the palate, offering appealingly sweet red/dark berry flavors that pick up a touch of cola with air. Closes gently sweet and long, with even tannins and nervy mineral cut.

"Lurid violet color. Bright and energetic on the nose, displaying ripe red/blue fruit and floral scents and a hint of peppery spices. Juicy and seamless in texture, offering sweet raspberry and boysenberry flavors and a touch of earth licorice.

"(aged for four months in new and used French oak barrels) Opaque ruby. Dark berry preserve, licorice and floral scents are enlivened by a peppery element and a hint of dusty minerals. Sweet, smoke-tinged boysenberry, cherry compote and violet pastille flavors show an appealing blend of depth and energy. Supple tannins shape the long, smooth finish, which leaves a smoky blue fruit note behind."

"Bright purple. Spice-accented black and blue fruit aromas are complemented by violets and woodsmoke. Round and seamless on the palate, offering juicy blackberry and cassis flavors that are lifted and firmed by zesty acidity. The finish is framed by gentle, harmonious tannins, with very good breadth, thrust and persistence."
