black cherry colour with lighter rim; not clear. nose: robust - cherries+alcohol; later some tart notes. taste: high acidity and medium+ tannins volume; robust structure; lacks balance and its bit boring. Some blueberries in the finish.

Latest vintage from Deluca - 20$ - I liked the 2009 but thought it needed a little aging...this is drinking great out of bottle - nothing to complex, but tasty and great experience. Not sure how "classic" this is, but I like the geek grape factor here. Nose is dark deep fruit with a "cigar room" factor - old leather chairs infused with a little smoke. Palate is med+ bodied, slight tart with unripe black cherry fruit. There is a nice milky quality that continues to the finish and has a vanilla/chocolate quality.
I serve this a touch cool, and open to air for >30 mins.
