A gorgeous BDX style wine with new world flair. Cinnamon, spice, cedar, earth, blackberry...very expressive. On the palate, dense earth, spice, blackberry and sweet red cherry, with well-integrated toasty oak. Attenuated, but finely grained tannin on the juicy finish. A modern-in-style, but wonderfully elegant wine.

Dark purple color, with aromas of blackberry, dried dark fruit, and cedar box. Flavors of blackberry, dried currants, cinnamon with white pepper and a little espresso and dark chocolate finish. Nice balance of fruit, body, acidity, soft tannin, and intensity. Very good wine that will last several more years, but no reason to wait, this is peaked out.

Ripe blackberry dominates in the aroma and on the palette. Medium body with a medium finish. Paired well with duck and surprisingly well with seafood in a hearty sauce. Drinking well right now but should not be held much longer.

Dark purple color, almost a little inky. Modest aromas of cocoa, spice, and eucalyptus. Medium bodied with flavors of black raspberry, sweet dark chocolate and pomegranate syrup. The flavors are delicious, but the dark color and medium bodied nature are contrary to the big flavors and so it's a little discordant, it comes off flat or a little diluted. A good wine, a delicious drink, but not great. nice acidity should hold this wine for several years
