Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby red color with aromas of rich red fruits, sweet spice, smoke and cedar notes, aged in French oak. On the palate flavors of black cherry, blackberry and currants with vanilla, tobacco, spice and licorice. Fine ripe tannins, long finish ending with fruit, sweet spice and toasty oak character. Nice, good now but more time is better!

When this guy shows up in your state it’s time to open the Riserva.

Running a little hot on the tongue. Good fruit but not much complexity. Not a bad value wine, just don't expect a world class blend. Might have missed its peak.
