Shop/Critic/Winery Review: "A potpourri of violets, sweet baking spices and woodland berries take center stage. The savory palate offers up wild cherry, black raspberry and cinnamon alongside supple tannins and fresh acidity. Drink soon."
My impressions: Beautiful deep red. Dark fruit on the nose. Fruit forward, with bits of blackberry and cassis. Very tannic. The first taste gave way to a chemical flavor, almost like a cleaner; not particularly pleasant. It wasn't as present on subsequent tastes, instead having dried plums as an aftertaste.
