The color is a deep garnet with some mild bricking. Straight out of the bottle, the nose has deeply charred, smoky wood, smoothing out into layers of chaparral, dried herbs and mint. The palate has an apple-y sort of acidity with some dry red fruit and tea flavors showing up as well. This one is well over the hill; wonderful sexy aroma, but in the mouth is sort of muddled and unpleasant.

A basket of fruit bursting with cherries. Not obnoxious. Just right. Aromas of saddle leather, hints of Cedar nutmeg cinnamon. overall a joy to consume and share. Get thee in my belly worthy.

Consistent notes. Never really did anything for me. Glad only bought 2.

Needs time to open up but after thirty plus minutes developed into a very nice wine.

Fruit a bit muddled. Dark cherry but not vibrant. Medium body, short finish
