WineO Mark Review

This is an intensely aromatic wine coming from a blackberry, boysenberry, blueberry, and black currants with notes of dried lavender and some olives.

This is a medium to full-bodied wine that has well-structured and juicy layers of deeply concentrated flavors. You can taste the black currants, cherries, ripe plums, blueberries, and boysenberries. This is followed by hints of vanilla, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and some well-integrated oak creating a smooth and lengthy finish.
