“Glass-staining purple. Vibrant aromas of raspberry, smoky minerals, potpourri and cola. Impressively dense and silky, with a surprisingly lacy texture to its red and blue fruit, floral and spice flavors. Saturates the entire palate without leaving an impression of weight. The spicy finish leaves behind resonating notes of mace, smoky minerals and floral pastilles, with just a hint of dusty tannins. This vineyard does especially well in years with a classic Indian summer, like ’08, says Sussman.”
