Deep purple. Nose of cedar, mint with medicinal notes, and even a little varnish. Tart, mild tannins, herbal, light body, heavy oak with vanilla. Long finish. Overall a solid wine, but too much oak. The tartness makes it somewhat clumsy.

Had this last night and thought it was a very dependable wine. A nice blend of fruit and tannin. Not a lot of bite, but remarkably pleasant nonetheless.

Blackberry and cherry. Smooth... almost too smooth. Don't cellar this one.
