Berries and leather on the nose. Smooth and light mouthfeel with good acid and lower than expected tannin.

What a tantalizingly delightful cacophony of flavors bundled into every sip. Pairs beautifully with a peanut butter and jelly tortilla roll.

2013 vintage. Notes of dark cherry and oak. Smooth but bold taste.

A bit dry, but once it opens up it's great. Cherry, fruity.
