Pressed iris, violet, dark-skinned berry and cake spice aromas unfold in the glass. The full-bodied palate doles out ripe black cherry, crushed raspberry, sage and clove alongside firm, velvety tannins. You’ll notice the warmth of alcohol on the finish but the juicy fruit keeps it in check. Drink 2018–2028.
