Nose:
Complex and inviting. A mix of black cherry, brambly red fruits, mulberry and blueberry. Aromatic spices develop with time in the glass.
Palate:
The mix of red, blue and black fruits are hallmark Eastside. Presenting plush and juicy on the mid palate, the acid structure elevating the red fruit. It ‘rolls’ over the palate seamlessly from front to back.
