Ripe and generous, this wine delivers succulent boysenberry and blackberry compote with impressive energy. Anise, apple wood and sweet bay add complexity, while a floral iris note emerges toward the finish. Racy acidity provides freshness and drive through the persistent conclusion. Best from 2025 through 2040.
