Bright, exuberant aromas of blackberry and blueberry are pierced by a shaft of mint which gives the wine an incredible, scintillating freshness. The substantial mouthfeel carries ample black forest fruit and fleshy, black plum flavors punctuated by peppery tannins and fine acidity, all combining to underscore the wine's fine structure and balance. The long aftertaste suggests tobacco and tea, wrapped in Dow's trademark dry finish.
