Tasting Notes
Dark red brick color. Deep and bright. Powerful, rich nose of fruit, ripe cherries, vanilla and spice. Luscious, textural, rich, full-bodied and round with good acid structure. Cherry, spice and vanilla oakiness carries through on the palate. Rich, vibrant, earthy fruit. Smooth and integrated. Excellent! Truly enjoyable!
