Fig paste and ancho jelly, baked chocolate cookie, black currant and dried plum with a cinnamon dirt clod scent. Cinnamon apple with a big dollop of blackberry, licorice, black currant, dark toast, doesn't drop off or thin out like a lot in it's class. Cedar peppers the finish.

Nicely balanced but a bit thin. Decent value for the price but nowhere near their Merlot.
