Nice deep ruby red hues. The nose displayed hints of prunes, caramel, and basket of red delicious apples. Decently balanced with medium tannins and medium finish of oak cherry and recently tanned leather. Great value — 9 years ago

Cherries on nose.

Oak and Black pepper with ripe cherries on the palate.

Light tannins no finish. Very thin legs. Had at wedding in plastic cup, never aerated. Perhaps rate higher under better conditions. — 10 years ago
