Garnet black color. Aromas and flavors of grilled sage, dried violets and lilac, plum, blueberry, cherry sauce, and cedar and leather with a round, lively, bone-dry medium body and a warming, charming, medium-length finish that shows accents of potpourri, red plum and anise, cherry and pink peppercorn, and aged balsamic with cherry. Rarely seen as a single varietal, this expression shows the rich floral, savory, and purple fruit tones that are great in a blend and more than good enough to be enjoyed independently. ~~BTI/Tastings.com
