Blackberry, raspberry preserves, plum, vanilla, spice, oak and hints of white pepper. Good structure and well-integrated tannins.

I am very impressed by this wine that smells of blueberry pie and spices. I get the same flavors on the palate with screaming acidity and very supple tannins. Oak is not extremely prevalent on this wine. An awesome food wine.
