LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Notes of wild blueberries and red cherries pop from the glass, leading to hints of lilac, tar, licorice, and spearmint. The light to medium-bodied palate is silky and pure with beautiful red and blue fruit flavors and wonderfully balanced acidity, finishing long and fragrant."
