A bit of heat on the nose with raspberry and cherry. Medium plus acidity. A good wine, but alcohol burn brings it out of balance.

Unexpectedly tasty. I wouldn't buy and hold it. I would buy and drink it. Decanting will certainly help. Paired it with a spicy (paprika,pepper,salt,mustard) dry rubbed steak and a chimichurri dry rubbed steak. Worked well. Will buy again provided price is right.

Ripe and boozy. A little disjointed.

Nose: heavy alcohol and black cherry followed by a light, smokey note.

Palate: tart cherry opening leading into a crisp and smokey finish with a touch of toasted almond.
