Right now its so young and immature that Having it as a desert wine is probably ok but... me thinks this wine in 5 -10 yrs is gonna bring down the house.

Salty chocolate cherries on the nose with palette notes of blueberry, crushed gravel and morel mushroom. The finish is smokey and tinged with raspberries. A beautiful wine.

A great order when you dont know what else to get. Always rock solid, goes with everything, gobs of fruit but enough tannin to hold up to any dish.

Really enjoyed this light body wine with steak as well as Halibut. We found it well rounded (not sweet at all).
