Top Notes For
Lyn Farmer

Deep ruby with purple highlights. Medium intensity red and black fruit on the nose, with cherry, plum and sweet spice. On the palate, medium acidity and surprisingly high tannin and high alcohol. Oak spice, cedar, vanilla, plum and cherry. Long finish but neither as elegant nor as soft as I prefer in a Barbera.
