Tasting notes
Inky ruby. Heady scents of dark berry liqueur, singed plum and incense, with notes of vanilla and smoky minerals building in the glass. Shows excellent clarity and lift to the palate-staining blueberry, cola and candied lavender flavors, with juicy acidity giving the wine spine. Deftly marries richness and vivacity and finishes sweet, broad and extremely long, with solid punch and fine-grained tannins.

Medium garnet colored, the 2012 The Factor has a nose of baked cherries, blackberry preserves and prunes with spice box and incense nuances. The palate is dense and rich with dried berries and fruit compote flavors accented with baking spices and framed by grainy tannins, finishing long and surprisingly gentle.
