Sipping Fine Wine

Very dark Ruby with rich fruit aromas with sweet tones. On the palate blackberry and black plum flavors with sweet spice and cacao notes. Soft full tannins, long finish with smoky oak and earthy ending. Perfect to drink now.

The nose is charred fruit. Fruit forward on the palate with lots of cherry, plum, strawberry, and blackberry. The body is heavy, reflective of the nearly 15% alcohol. The finish is chewy with medium acid and a smokey fruit aftertaste.
