Ruby with berry fruit and spice notes. On the palate strawberry and cherry flavors with some cacao, sweet spice and tobacco nuances. Firm tannins, good length on finish ending a bit tangy. Just Ok.

Very young tasting, not the best.

Pale complexion. Bright floral nose set the stage for a palate that just does not follow through. All the delicious red fruit on the nose is just not present at all on the palate. Tannins are at least in balance and very soft, building in late. Short but pleasant finish. Leaves a lot to be desired. (Edited) much more drinkable close to room temp - 70* or so. Opens up the palate. Huge difference. Drink it warm!

Light berries - cherries and raspberries. Smooth tannins with some oak barrel finish.

A lot better than I thought. Actually tasted like a good cab with a great balance of sweet to dry. It stayed the same or got better with age after opening. It had a slight sweet front end while the backend enveloped white pepper and the best balance of dry. Want to try again!
