(from a vineyard planted in 1899) Inky purple. Ripe, smoky nose offers powerful blackberry and mulberry aromas and sexy Asian spices. Silky and sweet, with deep dark berry and cherry flavors framed by velvety tannins. As concentrated as this is, it also boasts immense up-front appeal: it would hardly be a crime to enjoy it on the young side. Finishes with building grip and juicy berry skin bite.
