Perfect accompaniment to my Saturday night T-Bone — a month ago
Deep Ruby color with aromas of fruit, spices and floral notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with cedar, cacao and espresso notes. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, spice, oak and herb mineral character. — 9 hours ago
