Top Notes For
Ray Vanderhoff

Dark ruby color with garnet highlights. Bold aromas of red and black fruit, cedar and vanilla. Flavors of cooked cherries, blueberries and plums with additional hints of black licorice and dark chocolate. Hint of baking spice on the long and silky finish. Full bodied with reasonably good texture. Light on acidity. Very fruit forward. Thanks for sharing, Chris B!
