Deep, dark garnet in color, slightly opaque in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruits aromas of cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & herbal notes, spices, coffee, minerals & a slight hint of vanilla in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, lush, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & plums with spices, herbs, minerals & a touch of vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks well at present with decanting & extended airing but it has the structure to develop further with additional aging. An indicative blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Syrah.
