Concentrated grapey, blueberry flavors. Singular flavor with a minimal amount of tannin. Dark color in the glass with no rings. Heavy dark berry nose. Friendly.

Tastes metallic, almost bloody- soft tannins from barrel aging but not much barrel character. Nose comes off a bit hot. Was good with beef cheek tacos.

Dark fruit. M- tannin. A little too much oak for me.

Savory, low tannin, red, with nice flavors of plum and cherry with just a hint of oak.
