Winemaker's Notes:

Mocha and cocoa nibs intertwine with slightly smoky blackberries and sun warmed raspberries. Piercing purity and intensity bring freshly turned earth, forest underbrush, while undertones of char and toast add complexity. Baked blackberry cobbler with cinnamon and vanilla bean seamlessly integrate with porcini mushroom and oak, great weighty texture and smooth tannins. The lively acidity is balanced against sweet fruit and lip smacking tannins.
