This wine offers a highly aromatic nose of crushed raspberries and blueberries, cedar and exotic spice, with intriguing notes of gravel and delicate wood smoke.  It presents the fruit-forward and traditionally inherent varietal flavors typified by the Horse Heaven Hills AVA with a core of vibrant acidity, all supported on the finish by age-worthy tannin.  Red licorice, black cherry and black tea flavors are layered on the palate, subtly echoing and lingering on the finish.
