Strong tannic structure and plum flavor. A little off dry.

Feeling kinda neutral about this one. It has a smooth scent with a little berry and taste has stronger tannins but short tail. I keep wanting to sip. Had it with Talapia, white rice & green beans, it paired fairly well.

Beautiful blend!
The plum and cherry notes are very distinguishable, with a great oak touch!
I would definitely buy again!!
