Taken Red Blend is a careful balancing act of light
and dark. At first glance, the nose is dominated by ripe notes
of raspberry, blackberry, black currant, and plum, but careful
consideration reveals soft, floral undertones. Delicate hints of
jasmine and vanilla bean elevate the palate while the body is
defined by flavours of quince, roasted fig, and extra dark chocolate
with a dash of allspice. The texture is full and robust, but gives
way to rich, supple tannins on the finish. —Rebecca Jain, winemaker Taken Wines
