(includes 10% viognier): Inky ruby. Deep, smoky aromas of red fruit liqueur, Indian spices and incense, with a bright mineral topnote. Lush, creamy red and dark berry flavors show good freshness, with a lively mineral spine adding focus. Very deep but shows good energy, with appealing finishing sweetness and juicy persistence.
