  The aroma opens with an almost gamey quality, with a generous amount of suede and a hint of smoke. Black currant and black cherry preserves, roasted coffee beans, a faint hint of truffles make this an excitingly complex, fascinating wine to sit and sniff.
  
  At first sip the palate is deep and smoky and full of black leather tones. The mid palate is dominated by dark cherry, and tawny elements of soil and tamarind mixed with vanilla bean, blackberry and blackcurrant preserves, and a touch of cream. The finish lingers and evolves beginning with dried orange peel, moving into lavender and Saucelito Canyon’s signature violet flavor, with a soft touch of rosemary toward the end. This is a very complex, multilayered, and continually developing wine. An enjoyable and intriguing experience and easily a wine worth trying.

  Magenta-ruby color of medium-deep depth. Tight nose; medium-full bodied; fruity brambly flavors; hint of leather.
