Violet color. Attractive aromas and flavors of chocolate raspberry mousse, Raisinettes, German Chocolate Cake, and soil and smoked pepper with a silky, bright, fruity medium-to-full body and a warming, refreshing, medium-long finish with notes of spicy roasted nuts, cedar, hint of roasted sweet potato, and black pepper with well-integrated, chewy tannins and moderate oak flavor. A chewy and chocolatey Napa red blend that satisfies.
