Solid core of dark red fruits. Ripe, but not overly complex.

20 months in oak is a great way to win me over. This dark, long legged lady is layered with numerous subtle hints of flavor. Plum, vanilla, spice, pepper & blackberry.

Very enjoyable; lots of character without being too dominant for a meal that had a variety of different main ingredients. While it didn't completely blow me away, it was among the better wines that I have enjoyed.

Just right! A full body, jammy tang on the lateral tongue, slight bite, chocolate, blackberry, mild oak, tart fruit, strong course finish.
