Smooth and sweet. Lasting flavor, paired with charcuterie + fruit and berries. Could be dessert wine for those that don't want a sweetness overload.

This wind pours a medium red-purple. It’s a beautiful ruby color in the glass. It has a nice texture and some pretty decent tannins Wonderful flavors of dried red fruit, cinnamon, and maybe caramel,

Medium bodied, good leg, earthy, hint of tobacco at first then smooth dark cherry aroma followed. Great pairing with filet mignon, lobster tail and pasta with spinach and broccoli.
