Ruby color. Fruity nose. Luscious fruit. Similar to the 2014, but not as much backbone. Tending to Jammy. At 15% alcohol, it is noticeably hot.

Loved it. Surprising rich fruit on the pallete that gets more complex and tasty

Inky deep purple color, smells of blueberry, tar, India ink, graphite, raspberry, and cinnamon, a very bold and intense wine with full body and gritty tannin, very balanced acidity, tastes of blueberry preserve, cranberry, raspberry jam, clove, black plum, dark chocolate, and Earl Grey tea, this wine has quite and reserved power, fruit driven yet with excellent structure, smooth and long finish, aftertaste of prune and dark chocolate.
