Generous aromas of boysenberry jam, blueberry juice, black pepper, fresh and dried violets, black currant and capsicum rise out of the glass of this full-bodied Cab. The palate offers mouthcoating tannins, balanced by the roundness of alcohol, concentrated fruit and modest acidity. Flavors enhance the aromas and add well-integrated oak tones of star anise, unsweetened cacao and toasted wood.
