I’m not sure how this was Kathy’s favorite wine for all those years. Too sweet, doesn’t hold up well. Odd aftertaste.

Vanilla, red fruit, oak and sweet leather on the nose. Red raspberry with peppery notes and a bit of fresh plum in a medium body. Starts a touch sweet but finishes with a mildly tannic and oaky flavor. Might just need a few more years on the shelf.
