Medium plus nose shows fresh earth, cedar, dill, red plum, black cherry, rose petals. Palate matches, sweet oak notes and spicy, fresh herbs, dusty earth, medium plus tannins are smooth, finishes with that American oak sweet tone. Very good for a Crianza!

Pours a lovely dark garnet, immediately upon opening I'm hit by vanilla, marzipan, and sweet red fruit on the nose. After a few hours the sweetness and vanilla dissipate to allow the cedar, earth, and stone to come forth. The palate is likewise vanilla and sweet red fruit at first which becomes darker with pleasant acidity. Paired beautifully with roast chicken stuffed with sausage and mushrooms:

Red fruit, flowers, cedar tones, tobacco, vanilla. Freshy acids, ending in a long subtile finish with silky tannins.
