Floral with red rose petals and violet. Both red and black berries, plum. M acid, body and tannin. Not overly oaked. Fresh and balanced.

Holy $hit - 33% Merlot, 31% Cab, 21% PV, 16% Cab Franc. These Virginia grapes smacked me in the face... in a good way (I think).
I've tried every vintage of Painted Red and this by far has the most depth.
1 hour decant and still needs a bit.
