Color: Shiny, deep ruby with touches of iris, mauve and blush on the rim.
On the nose: Expressive nose of cantaloupe, tomato sauce, pencil shavings, elderberry and clay, lingering on bacon, licorice and paprika.
On the palate: Soft, velvety entrance evolving on a framed mid-palate with fresh blueberry, lavender and boysenberry, lingering on licorice and bay leaf.
