Put a small green pepper between fresh blueberry pie and cherry pie, and you'll get the aromas coming from the glass. The palate is similar, leading with sweet blueberry pie filling and vanilla-flavored crust, moving toward the same in cherry on the mid-palate, and ending with a touch of green

The color is inky black with purple edges. Mocha shows on the nose, along with blueberry and vanilla. On the palate mocha, blueberries, and licorice start the attack.

The nose is very floral, with near gardenia-power white flowers, with underlying aromas of ripe peaches. The palate shows wax and citrus fruits, lemon juice and lemon pith.

Very light violet aromas float over blueberries and vanilla on a slightly reticent nose. There is no reticence on the palate, as this opens with lush berries, blueberry and elderberry, vanilla, cloves, and violets.

The nose is very deep, rich with figs and espresso, with a background of cedar. The nose was only a hint of the depth of the palate. It opens with blackberries and black pepper, then opens broadly to add licorice, coffee, unsweetened chocolate, and sweeter blueberry. The wine is well-structured,
