Big, bold and beautiful! Deep red, plenty of mouthfeel, lively. American interpretation of French wines!

A jammy full and big wine with fruit forward. Low acidity. High alcohol and residual sugar.

I was surprised how much I like this bottle. The immediate impression was similar to my first bottle of Clio: concentrated, powerful, and intense. Blueberry jam, cassis, dark spices, dark chocolate, and a lovely violet scent. Rich and dense palate but without being heavy. A bit of meatiness too. The acidity was enough to hold back the heat at the end.
