This extremely dark-tinted wine is dark on the nose and on the palate as well. Aromas of black fruit and oaky spice meet flavors of the same style, with earthy mineral notes underneath. It is undeniably a fruity wine, despite the heft and brawn that it brings. Tannins are tall and toothy, so get that grill fired up and throw a ribeye on it.

Slightly cloudy purple red color. Nose of persimmon, black plum, whole wheat bread, & touch of preserves. Palate is lightly fruity with small black plums. Finish is dark and dusty, and lasts 45sec+. Good but young with great improvement potential. $32 California Retail.
