Cassis and vanilla on the nose, and overwhelming presence of these soft oak notes throughout. Very soft mouthfeel, but the fruit (mainly blueberry notes) is sitting in the back. On the finish, some light acid but not offensive. Still left with those oaky vanilla notes.

Great wine and very enjoyable at this price point - $16. Good balance between fruit, tannins, acid and moderate oak. Definitely breathe for half an hour or more as it's a little harsh straight from the bottle. Great complexity for a $16 wine, although I have to admit that I've had better wines at a little cheaper. However, it's a local winery for me and I like to support the locals, so I'll go back for more.
