Shimmering ruby. Spice-tinged aromas of black raspberry, cherry preserves and pungent flowers are complemented by a minerally nuance that builds with aeration. Chewy and energetic on the palate, offering densely packed cherry and dark berry flavors that unfurl and become livelier on the back half. Finishes gently tannic, spicy and extremely long, leaving candied lavender and red berry liqueur notes behind. -- Josh Raynolds
