The nose is deeply perfumed and lifted, with complex aromas of wild blackberries, boysenberries, licorice and violets. The palate is full-bodied with seamless tannins and fine acidity, giving notes of mulberries, cassia bark, blueberry bush, cured meat and iodine. Exceptionally well balanced and pure, with a balance of power and freshness. Co-fermented with 2% viognier from vines planted in 1912.
