Aromas of mulled plum wine leaps from the glass with briary raspberries. There is a refreshing herbaceous-ness to the intense but elegant palate. Ripe plum and black raspberry flavors are held in check by the repeating herbal tone, with a touch of a wet rock thing. There's a peppery spiciness leading to a precise and linear finish.
