Tasting Notes: 

With aromas of blackberry, raspberry, black tea, fresh cigar leaf, Bing cherry, and hints of lavender and violet, this continues to remain one of the most complex and exotic New World zins produced, with a full-body, inclusive of vibrant acid and velvety tannins that will coat your entire mouth. At first taste, you will experience an immediate burst of blackberry and dark chocolate-covered cherries, with a finish of raspberry and hints of caramel, butterscotch, and lavender.
