Bright violet color. A sexy, intensely perfumed bouquet displays cherry-cola, dark berry preserves, violet and licorice. Juicy, focused and spicy, offering sweet blueberry and cherry compote flavors and a touch of finishing smokiness. A bitter cherry note lingers on the firm, refreshingly brisk finish.

Score 87-89/100 · Josh Raynolds, Jan 2010
Vivid purple. Textbook aromas of dark berries, licorice and cracked pepper. Juicy and tight-grained, with a silky texture and restrained sweetness to the modestly concentrated flavors of blueberry, violet and licorice. Gains sweetness toward the back, finishing with fine-grained tannins and good purity. This is scheduled to be bottled in January of 2010.
