American new oak: smoke, vanilla, cinnamon. Anise, green and white pepper. Purple and red flowers! Light ruby, pink rim, garnet tone. Medium plus acidity, low tannin as it should be, medium plus (to elevated) body. Vibrant red cherries and raspberry.

After trying the entry level wines I grabbed a reserve to see how it compared. Aromas of black fruits and berries with hints of sweet notes. On the palate sweet cherry and raspberry well integrated with oak and licorice. Soft tannins, lingering, ending with a sweet candied character. Very nice and more refined than entry level offerings.

Black pepper at first sniff, then a cascade of strawberry, rose petal, followed by some smoke and minerality. Quite fruit forward compared to a Beaune.
