Aroma of dark fruit (blackberries?) soft tannins on the initial taste. After airing it out, becomes medium in strength upfront. A pleasant wine.

Meaty nose. Good complex red. Reminds me of a strong Cab Sav. Would be good with a hearty dish.

Absolutely delicious! Could be cellared for a bit longer to be excellent....a little young at current but an excellent all-around table wine.
