Tasting Notes

Deep Purple meets Victoria Beckham ---smoke and spice.  Smo-oak on the wi-ine...  Draped in thin leather haute couture and perfumed with peppercorn and dried herb, this girl is smooth - yet rocks!  Big fruit -- fig, black raspberry, dark cherry. Big spice that, when opened awhile, evolves toward eucalyptus with micro-mint.  All this fruit and spice with an under layer of loam marks this wine with an Xahhtic.
