Deep, fruity blackberries well rounded noticeable tanins. Labeled online as a cab sauv blend. Almost shiraz-y to me. So good when young, wonder how the aged ones would be.

Ruby red. Earth, cherry, musk. Cherry, liquorice, light black pepper. Red fruit in the mouth. Smooth mouthfeel. High acid, some front tannin left that are well integrated. Good little wine.
