Dark Ruby color with blue and black fruit aromas, slightly floral. The palate shows sweet fruit, ripe blue and black fruit with spice, lively acidity, firm tannins, all nicely balanced. Medium+ finish ending with the fruit still coming through with slight smoky espresso notes. Has good short-term aging potential, but enjoyable now.

Juicy, simple and crowd pleaser. Did not remind me of Southern Rhone blends.

Raspberry, bramble, red and black plum, cassis, vanilla, light smoke, white pepper. A bit short on the finish, and lacking fruit intensity
