Dried herbs make for a tea-like, leafy bouquet, while the palate is crowded with syrupy blackberries. It’s a bit of a disconnect that may work for some tasters but not for others.

A step up in concentration and ripeness from the winery’s El Dorado bottling, but maybe not in overall quality, as some of the wine’s alcohol is apparent and the leafy notes so attractive to some in the other bottling are absent in this one. Drying tannins on the finish.
