Deep only hue with black cherry and eucalyptus mouth. Very tannic and tight. Needs more time. A bit medicinal

Aromas of rose petals, vanilla and oak. Opening up to cherry licorice, cassis and so cherry notes.

Excellent wine for the price. Affordable splurge. Deep ruby red. Smooth drinking with a good finish

2010 is better with every sip and as it's opened up. Very raiseny and tons of tannin to back up the fruit. Makes me want to head back to Cali!
