Violet center with a brick red rim. Expressive nose of dark cherry and spicy sandalwood. Beautiful on the palate with dark cherry, vanilla, cola, and cocoa. Medium-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and vibrant acidity. The tannins are well integrated, and the finish is above average. Overall, this is a very enjoyable wine with terrific fruit, complimentary acidity, and a terrific, balanced mouthfeel.

Dark red with brick hues. Aromas of cherry, cured olives, wood, crayons, orange rind and hot stones. A little heat on the nose even after decant which is recommended! On the palate bright with acidity and gripping tannins. The flavor profile is pleasant with cherry, cranberry, pomegranate, orange rind, tobacco, dark roast coffee and wood that push through to the moderate-plus finish that has a distinct nutty component.

Dark ruby, garnet with medium viscosity in the glass. Nose of cherry, slate, plum and cinnamon. Secondary cedar. Medium body with ripe black cherry, plum and raspberry on the palate. Red Hots on the back. Nice balance of fruit, minerality and acidity. Some chalkiness in mouthfeel. Medium finish. Paired well with pasta.

Was good, strong dried cherry notes with a spicy nose.
