	Notes:	Deep ruby to purple in color. Initial aromas of raspberry and sweet spice, opening to a broader array of blue fruits, lavender, violet, leafy herbs, cinnamon, hints of cardamom, and graphite. Medium to full-bodied, juicy with nicely integrated tannins giving silkiness on the fore-palate and a soft wool texture on the mid-palate. Clean finish of blue fruits and herbs.
