CLASSIC 97 RATING: A deep garnet in color and highly aromatic, the 2008 Arrow & Branch Red Wine blend emanates intriguing notes of sweet purple plum, Bing cherry, boysenberry, anise, black tea leaves, peat, forest floor, cigar box tobacco, mocha, baking spices and pencil shavings. The full-bodied palate is juicy and rich with a remarkable texture derived from layers of fine tannins, which bodes well for this wine's longevity. Complex flavors mingle seamlessly; saturated black cherry, cassis, brambly boysenberry, black pepper, baking spices, fresh cut herbs, leafy green cigar box tobacco, coffee and purple violet. Balanced and harmonious, the silken mouth feel has well-integrated acidity, keeping the wine bright and age-worthy. The length is quite long and studded with plush dark fruit, spices and purple flowers.
