Pavement black at the core, this wine has a thin mulberry core. Its attack is creamy and generous in sweet spice, mulberry, blueberry and bramble flavors. It’s exotic and familiar all at the same time, and the palate is incredibly accommodating. Round and juicy, with well-balanced alcohol, this is sure to suit most lovers of Old and New World-style wines, especially as it works into its lingering finish. Drink now through 2019.
