A dark rich crimson color. Scents of blueberry, licorice, and sea stones. Very lively cranberries, with a light peppery tobacco tar essence. Late flare of orange zest as it moves into the pungent finish to complete a terrific balance.

Ink like in color, and aromas of bountiful red fruit and spices. Black cherry, and relaxed blueberry with hints of ginger and allspice. Initially fruit forward, yet a wet earthen mossy flavors tame the bouquet of fruitiness to leave you analyzing the depth of it’s complexity. Finish isn’t substantial and slightly more subdued that I would hope for. Tannins and acidity just a touch off, but still a good wine. Just not spectacular.

Beautiful dark maroon in color. Gravel and dried fruits in the nose. On the palette a very adventurous almost sweet balsamic like flavors without the high acidity and stewed red fruit. Long finish and very well balanced. Very nice.
