Opaque dark, rich, color, this Josephine has aroma of blackberry, black currant, dark plum, Bing cherry, black pepper spice, and slight nuance of Juniper berry. Adding to the depth and richness, the oak is well integrated with sweet oak spice components reminiscent of clove, cinnamon, tobacco and aromatic cedar. The wine opens in the glass to sweet black cherry flavors that linger through a full mid pallet experience. Bright and rich, this wine has a round mouth feel. The tannins are well resolved, mature, and velvety smooth, leaving the wine with a long, lingering finish. Rich, round and seductive!
