Very smooth, hint of cherry, spice, not too sweet

A deep purple red wine with a medium nose of cherry, plum and blackberry with oak.
A dry wine, medium acid, medium plus alcohol, full bodied with soft round tannins - quite plush mouthfeel. Taste follows the nose with chocolate, vanilla and dark fruit.
An enjoyable wine that would be everyday but for the price.
