This wine has an attractive garnet color and aromas of blackberries, cherries, chocolate, vanilla, coffee, and oak. The flavors mirror aromas with vanilla, cinnamon, clove, and spice. The mouthfeel is soft and round, with well-balanced acidity and very soft tann hobnins that are soft and round but not aggressive. This wine is drinkable now, but will cellar well over the next 1-2 years. The overall impression is of a wine that is well-crafted, balanced and well-rounded.
