A lovely spicy blend of CS, CF, Merlot and Petit Sirah, resulting in a deem black color, ripe black fruits, black current, black chocolate with orange peels and cloves, full body with well integrated tannins, spicy core, and a long chewy finish. Quit intense and interesting. My score 88, drink to 2019

Deep opaque red, mild fruit aroma, significant body with mild but definite tannins and a slightly acid finish. Nice.
