There are lovely top notes of sweet smoke, hickory-cured bacon and sweet cedar grounded by rich, ripe red cherry, raspberry and mulberry throughout this wine. It’s smooth and slightly creamy in feel, with plush red-berry flavors, fine yet structuring tannins and ample acidity to lift the inherent sweetness. The finish offers an exhale of more sweet cured meat and smoke tones, with some brambly berry on the back.
