The Arrocco is loaded with boysenberry fruit, but it isn't like a bunch of blackberry jam, there is something more exotic, lilting, inviting and lingering, with a higher tone to it rather than just simple fruit. It smells of wildness subtly layered in behind. No wood aging, only stainless steel, yet on the palate the wine is luxuriant and supple, with power, depth and significant weight at only 13.5% alcohol. The finish is layered with spicy highlights and a smooth, balanced finish. I like drinking this wine. Arrocco is the Italian word for "castling," a move in chess, but the name is also a tribute to Rocco, the winemaker's father.
