Dark garnet to purple color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of rose petals, leather and black berries. Flavors of black berries, boysenberries and raspberries. Bright to tangy acidity, medium to firm tannin, full bodied. Drink or hold. Seems like there is some upside potential here with a little more bottle age.
