When I last had this wine 8 months ago, I picked up aromas of peach skin which I did not get on this bottle. Aromas of blackberry, crushed rock, roasted meat, and violets on the nose. Tastes of blackberry, sanguine, licorice, and pepper on the palate. I always love the fresh, floral aspects to this wine that the co-fermented Viognier provides.

Dark purple in color. Notes of black pepper, grilled smokey meat, and dark cherry. Moderate tannins and acidity nicely in balance. Very nice. Might be even better with a little more time in bottle.

Intense nose of black fruit, ground pepper, and the right amount of oak. Blueberry crumble, blackberry, smoke, and ground pepper on the palate. Decently long finish, probably the would be even better with more air.
