Earthy, mineral, almost saline nose upon opening... sour cherry, strong tannins, quite closed, grippy, young. De-canting for 2 hours to hopefully reveal the floral and spicy notes... after decanting, nose has softened , and much less tannin with more juicy, fruity flavor, modest and pleasant oak. Get slight hint of baking spice and tobacco. Lacks a lot of depth, but a perfectly drinkable fruit forward wine. Was a nice sweet counterpoint to some potato chips during the game.

Deep dark red medium body (14.5%) wine. Limited nose but nice black cherry and other dark fruit with some tannin after it opened. Very long finish.
