Ripe, open-textured and distinctive for its black olive character, weaving through the blackberry fruit. Finishes smooth. Drink now through 2014. 1,400 cases imported.–HS

Bright purple. Intensely perfumed nose displays fresh blackberry, lavender, star anise and vanillin oak. Bright and fresh on entry, with lively acidity giving lift and spine to the black and blue fruit flavors. Finishes long and sappy, with lingering smokiness and excellent clarity.
