(includes 7% petite sirah; 15.3% alcohol): Opaque violet color. An intensely perfumed bouquet displays dark berry preserves, cherry-cola, vanilla and woodsmoke. Lush, palate-coating blackberry and boysenberry flavors are complicated by notes of licorice and candied violet. Shows very good intensity on the gently tannic finish, which clings with noteworthy tenacity.
Dense and loaded with cracked pepper, plus notes of toasty cherry, dill, underbrush and cedar. Drink now through 2016. 2,650 cases made. –TF
