Pours a ruby/brick red with vivid aromas of stewed strawberries/figs and balsamic. Medium acidity and smooth medium tannins make this wine easy to drink. Juicy raisins and fig come through on the palate with some cedar and cinnamon coming through on the finish. Paired wonderfully with top sirloin steaks with romensco sauce and roasted fingerling potatoes.

Love the smooth texture and lively flavor. Rich aromas complemented our homemade vegetable soup. I'll have this again with a Nelson DeMille Book.

High tannins, hints of vanilla. Silky
