Fresh raspberries and sour cherries on the nose, and spices such as black pepper and cardamom in the back, mingle with hints of earthiness and herbs redolent of dried thyme and fresh pennyroyal. Medium bodied with a vibrant, textured midpalate. Marked by elegant tannins and balanced acidity, this is a complex, nuanced wine with a long finish.
