A deep garnet. Aromas of juicy cherries, mocha, fresh BBQ rosemary, vanilla and cinnamon all come together beautifully. Incredible, fist-pumping nose. Medium bodied and smooth as velvet with soft tannin and very low acidity. Big concentrated flavors of cherries and blackberries with cedar, cool moist sand and dark chocolate. The finish turns grainy as the tannins kicks up their game, and flavors of blackberries and dark chocolate. PHENOMENAL.

Tight upon uncorking but opens up nicely with a little aeration.
