Smooth and soft on the midpalate, this savory, succulent wine packs an enticing array of deeply ripe fruit flavors. Boysenberry, blackberry and sloe lead the way, with a hint of fig preserves on the back palate. As the flavors recede on the moderate finish, lightly sticky and grippy tannins come into focus, accented by the marked pop of acidity. With some air, nuances of milk chocolate and caramel surface, too. Drink now–2023.
