A big, not too sweet, fruity aroma right out of the bottle. Ruby-Garnet in color. Almost too jammy fruit but not too sweet, mostly dark, mostly blueberry and blackberry fruit flavors. Medium tannin, very dry, short Okie fruit finish. This had a lot of body, plenty of layering for that price, and was bought at a good value.
