The 2012 Gandona is a richly concentrated dark purple and fully opaque wine. Rich and lush black & red fruits such as boysenberry, sweet cherry, cassis, and pomegranate dominate the aromatics and flavors. Strong minerality notes of hot volcanic rock and gravel are on display. Floral elements of hibiscus and violets are interlaced with anise, allspice, vanilla, and cocoa. Full bodied, this wine has a long and complex finish that lingers for over 45 seconds.
