Glass-staining ruby. Heady, complex scents of candied dark berries, incense, potpourri and smoky minerals, with a sexy vanilla nuance in the background. Juicy, penetrating and pure, with superb clarity and power to the black raspberry and boysenberry flavors. The floral element comes back strong on the mineral-driven finish, which lingers with outstanding tenacity, velvety tannins and echoing sweet blue fruit. -- Josh Raynolds
