($16) Inky purple. Exotically perfumed aromas of fresh blackberry, mulberry and mocha, accented by violet and sandalwood. Lush, impressively sweet dark berry flavors verge on jammy but maintain energy thanks to lively minerality. Fine-grained tannins build on the long, juicy finish. Extremely impressive for the price and utterly delicious right now. (Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA)
