Purple-tinged deep ruby color. The nose recalls a wild raspberry patch on a warm day, the heat heightening the berry aromas and the bush's bramble, and revealing notes of dark-roast coffee and chocolate as well. Those berries burst on the palate, joined by plums and accented by herby chaparral, mocha, and vanilla. Robust but ripe tannins give the wine a lush, high-thread-count texture, and acid keeps it fresh and lifted on the finish. Drink now - 2030.
