Boisterous boysenberries bop first, followed by lemon zest, wet granite and thyme aromas. The palate showcases a wall of dark plum and crunchy cacao nib flavors, all backed by modest acidity and firm tannins that only just begin to rough up the roof of your mouth. Pour this on a rainy day with Dizzy Gillespie on the turntable.
