Deep Ruby. Tobacco, cured meats, hint of herbal/beany notes (merlot?). Firm but elegant, medium bodied. Very approachable style.

Dark ruby with a touch of brick red on the rims. Medium + body. Maraschino cherry with intense herbal and wild game notes. Nice tannin structure, subtle and rich to be a big crowd pleaser. Great acid balance, pairing options are wide. Drinking great right now.
