S: big earthy notes, a hint of barnyard/petting zoo (Brett for those familiar with the term) T: big bold dark fruits, plums, raisin, prune; gets to be kind of any oak monster in the mid (not a fan of big oak) along with some smokey, tobacco. Long earthy charcoal finish. Kind of like peat in scotch. Not a bad wine just a little too over oaked to my liking.

In the nose some oak influence with dried sweet cherries. Very approachable fruitiness on the palate, almost nothing else just very ripe sweet cherries with equally ripe plums. This overripe fruit is very nice but doesn't offer much, as the acidity is not playing enough part of the whole picture.

Red fruits, sweet cherry, and a medium length sweet finish. A decent economical Cali PS.
