Wine Review: Bright purple. Exotic, expansive aromas of black and blue fruit preserves, vanilla and cola, along with a peppery overtone and a hint of violet pastille. Broad, fleshy, appealingly sweet boysenberry and cherry liqueur flavors show excellent depth and a seamless texture. Finishes juicy and long, with building spiciness, an echo of blue fruit and round tannins.

Personal Review: This wine, like the Candoni had a hint of a sweet dessert wine when I smelled it, but turned out to be much lighter than I expected it to be. It had a bit of a spice to it but I couldn't pick out what spice it was. There was no strong lingering taste in the throat or on the palette. I did not try this wine with food.
