GOLD MEDAL, EXCEPTIONAL
"Violet color. Jammy, inviting aromas and flavors of blackberry preserves, vanilla, blueberry kringle, and milk chocolate with a glycerous, lively, dryish medium-full body and a peppery, appealing, medium-long finish with touches of blueberry and blackberry pie filling, black cherry pie a la mode, baking spices, and milk chocolate with coating, grippy, chewy tannins and heavy oak flavor. A a bold and beautiful barrel forward red blend bursting with berries and vanilla creme on the nose and palate."
