Not my style of wine. Sweet berry nose that I associate with Paso Robles, tobacco right off the bat with good acidity, firm tannins and very California Deep berry/plum fruit with slight smokiness.

V09. Well balanced, and elegant. Nothing flashy just really good. Soft cedar , with a slight touch of smoke on the bouquet. Beautiful mixed dark berries with a smooth round , but a very slight tart finish. Nice food wine and would pair wide a wide range of dishes.
