Ripe black fruit, espresso, and hints of tarragon show on the nose. Raspberries and cranberries, coffee and eucalyptus, all come through on the palate. Tart flavors linger. This is a bit of a mish-mash, disjointed fruit and flavors fighting against each other instead of working together. Not Recommended. DBH
