Dark cherry and violet aromas lift from the glass with appealing intensity. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins that coat the palate without weight. Cedar and spice notes add complexity to the pure fruit core. Shows the restraint and elegance that make Sanford & Benedict special, though it needs another year or two to fully integrate.
