Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2013 Asterisk comes bursting forth with creme de cassis, wild blueberries and black cherries scents with touches of dark chocolate mints, lilacs, black tea and espresso plus wafts of cardamom and cumin. Full-bodied, rich, boldly fruited and oh-so-decadent, it fills the mouth with generous black fruit layers, finishing with a minty lift.
