Vegetative nose but fruity finish. A little too much alcohol for me.

2010 in 2019. Stewed tomatoes and sherry. Digging the balance -- moderate alcohol and acid. Min tannins, time to drink

Love this wine! Perfect for pairing with dinner, or just to drink for the pure pleasure of enjoying good wine! Definitely one to have around for company!

Begins with a soft berry jam and ends up in a much fuller, thicker, coco with a hint of ripe berries on the finish. Finish is tannic but not overdone. Jut a slight cinnamon, dark chocolate spice . Well done but does not smack you in the face.
