Full garnet color, with clarity. Oxidative nose, notes of braised cherry, leather, smoked licorice, candied plums, root spices and hints of vanilla. Succulent and rich fruit on the palate, with floral and spice notes supporting. Medium-to-full body, moderate acid and round juicy tannins.

Ripe red fruit, winter berry, hints of clove / allspice, stones, and maybe the slightest bit of fresh leather coming in. A touch spicier on the open of the palate with a decent sense of freshness and openness. It does feel a bit lacking in structure and depth though. Good for a weeknight, relatively versatile.

Quite fruity, relatively restrained oak, and leaning modern. Solid depth of flavor. Well structured. Drink over the next few years.

Great compliment with spicy food. Pepper notes, cedar on the nose. Good acidity, not too dry with food. Some vanilla at the finish.
