Nose of ripe strawberry, cherry, pepper, and a slighty herbal/minty note.

On the palate: red fruit jam, vanilla, wood spice. Light acidity with very smooth tannins.

I can see the appeal of this wine with the big, ripe fruit notes, sweet oak, and velvety mouthfeel. Not really my style, bit I get it.
