description: The winery says this fruit comes from “the Espresso block” and it smells like it—smoky and almost jet black, it's got penetrating aromas of espresso, bitter chocolate, smoke and licorice. Beyond the penetrating and spicy aromas are crisply defined layers of blackberry and black cherry fruit, sassafras and pepper, and even a hint of orange zest. Gorgeous winemaking keeps it all beautifully balanced.
