1hr decant. Dark red/purple color. Nose had chocolate, oak, and dark fruit. Wine seemed just past prime. Herbs, honey, and cherries on the palate. Paired nicely with Porchetta. Medium finish. Quite nice.

Spicy oak aromas with complex flavors of walnut and blackberry with a subtle hint of roasted coffee and hints of dark chocolate. Very smooth texture like velvet. Deliciously full bodied

Prune, Blackberry, black cherry, vanilla, dark chocolate, pie crust, sandalwood, menthol. Good intensity, med + body, balanced tannins, pleasant mouthfeel. Drinks more like a medium body Cab. Long finish.
