Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits with oak and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry, raspberry and blackberry with cacao, licorice and spicy herb notes. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with juicy fruit, toasty oak and herb spice character. Nice, drinking well now!

Primarily Merlot with small amounts Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon blended in. Dark purple/black color. Aromas of dark berries, plums and baking spices. The palate is also full of dark fruit (berries, cherries and plums) along with touches of burnt caramel, chocolate, mulling spices and oak. Long, lush and mouth watering finish. Soft tannins and velvety texture. Medium bodied. Thanks for opening this one, Keith S.

Fruity on the nose. Palate starts with berries and ends with spices. Long tailed spicy finish. Had this at Waikoloa Hilton, HI.
