Tasting Notes by Jason Santos - JUSTIN Winery Sommelier
Appearance: Bright with a dark purple/black core lightening to ruby/purple at the rim, with slowly
forming, moderately stained tears on the glass.
Aroma: Complex and attractively aromatic, showing very ripe cherry and black currant fruit
followed by savory notes of cedar, pipe tobacco, vanilla bean, baking spice, and warm oak.
Palate: Full-bodied on the palate with ripe notes of crème de cassis and black cherry jam, with
hints of red berry fruit on entry and vanilla, licorice, and baking spice leading into the midpalate,
which shows complex savory notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and leather.
