Nice red color with a royal purple robe. Smells fine. Cassis and clay. Bit of mocha. Flavor is juicy but full. Streak of acid works wonders. More of the chocolate and coffee hints with plenty of plum as well. Plenty bitter. Ya tannins represent! Not big, big. Just boisterous and enjoyable. It’s drinking nice right now.

Fruity Cabernet. Lacking the more powerful dark notes, but succeeds in drinkability
