Beautiful rust color. Earthy, dry, subtle notes of stewed cherry, dirt, cocoa powder, pomegranate, & subtle coffee. More fruit forward than I remember. Dry, tannic finish. Medium acidity.

Perfect balance of light, easy drinking but great flavor. Plum, pepper on the nose

Ripe color. Powerful aroma with high alcohol. Amazingly balanced flavor and tannins. So smooth and subtle yet complex. Fruit forward. Oak. No lingering after taste. One of the best wines I have had. #mondaynight

Quite good! Full bodied; medium oak, on the dry side but smooth, low acidity but high chalk/tannins on the aftertaste. Probably better with food than for cocktails.
