Notes

An intriguing essence of orange peel and pointed notes of concentrated cranberry begin a layering of aromas that quickly deepen into fresh boysenberry. The florals of this wine peak late with notes of oregano, rosemary, and cigar box with toasted notes of crisp cracker and charred cedar. The entry is rich and dense full of sticky wild berries and fresh fruit leather. A spicy cinnamon stick edge outlines a grippy, built tannin structure that will inevitably give way to additional layers of flavorful fresh fruits. A tart cherry and shortcake finishing note carries a long and tannic finish.
