The 2016 Simmons Canyon is dark as night with a vibrant ruby edge. The wine shows deep aromatics of boysenberry, plum tart, creosote, white pepper, 5 spice, dark chocolate and bourbon vanilla that fill the glass. On the palate there is amplitude galore, with a layered, unctuous texture and fine tannins providing a framework, which allows the exotic, complex and intense flavors to gain shape and last on the soaring finish.
