All mocha, blueberry preserves, and violets. Plush and round with bright fresh acidity on the finish. Extremely well balanced.

Nice dusty tannic red fruit. Sunday business travel sucks, but this makes it easier.

Good stuff. Needs a few more years in the bottle. But overall very good.

Cab-drinkers Merlot. Cherry, smoke, oak aromas ascend from the glass. Velvety mouthfeel, red fruit. Long finish.
