"Saturated ruby. Intensely perfumed aromas of red and dark berry preserves, licorice, cola and exotic spices are complemented by a strong floral overtone. Sappy, finely detailed Chambord, cassis and blueberry flavors utterly stain the palate and turn spicier with air. Finishes smooth, lively and exceptionally long, with resonating florality and polished tannins that add subtle closing grip." -Vinous

"The 2019 Rising Tides is a pretty blend of Grenache (67%), Syrah (26%) and Graciano (7%). Medium ruby-purple, it features alluring wild berries, rooibos tea, dried rose petals and dark spices on the nose, gaining more aromatic nuance as it opens in the glass. The medium-bodied palate has fine, grainy tannins and balances intense, spicy fruits with addicting juicy uplift, finishing long and layered."
