I notice on the back of various commercial wines they may read "has a taste of plum, blackberry, mocha and spice" or "has a taste of passionfruit, grass and citrus".
These are just a couple of examples as most wines read something like the above. My question is, how, if the wines are made only with grapes, are they getting the plum, tobacco, grass, blackberry, etc. flavors?
I realize the oak barrels will lend some flavors but not following how I am getting grass, blackberry, mocha, etc. in the wine.
Thanks.
