Winery: Epiphany / Colson Canyon Vineyard
Extremely dense blackberry, black peppercorns, asphalt, grape candy and violets show on the nose of this wine from a vineyard on a hillside north of the Santa Maria Valley. The palate packs in-your-face tannins and density, with flavors of black cherry, blueberry and blackberry. Give it time, then serve with the heartiest fare.
