The medium-dark wine smells of ripe, red fruit dotted with peppery, herbal notes. There is a whiff of vanilla, cedar and cigars as well. The palate shows the red berries plainly, along with a tongue-tingling acidity and toothy tannins. A lengthy decant is useful, if not required, before enjoying. Pair the wine with the red meat of your choice.

Smells like raisins, dirt, and coffee. Tastes of chocolate and raspberry. Hints of cinnamon. Very smooth and easy to drink, sweet but not overly. Low acidity, low tannins.
