A deep dark plum color with lilac undertones. Initial black pepper and cloves aromas but the rich black fruits and and floral notes grow to dominate the nose. This isn’t a standard huge flabby kitchen sink blend, instead it’s actually quite sleek and focused. Sleek, but definitely not dainty. This needs a good bit of air to open up. Harmonious acidity and tannins. Of course, you have to mention the mountain fruit. Beautiful, pure fruit from the Diamond Mountain District that is vibrant and should be for years to come. Tart cherries, cranberries, and blackberries show on the palate. Milk chocolate, cassis, and new leather come to play, as well.
