Blackberry, vanilla and star anise on the nose. Boysenberry and raisin upfront, with lots of heat that builds up. Strawberry, sweet tobacco and a little pepper on the finish. Love this wine and it's been great trying different years!

What a treat, raisin, star anise and caramel on the nose. Very heavy, boysenberry, peach preserves, upfront, finishing with some start plum.

A great start with sweetness and juice, rounding out to flavors of kalamata olives and dried fruit with a smooth finish. Interesting wine!
