Deep, opaque color. Expressive nose from the start evolves over time; giving scents of decadent dark berry fruit, sandalwood, some bell pepper, and accents of tobacco. On the palate, this cab is firm and youthful for being almost twelve years old. A little alcohol shows in the beginning, but after 3 hours it comes into balance with the fruit and tannin showing well. The most impressive attribute of this wine is the ending; offering a great finish with tremendous length and flavor.

Rich layered flavors of plum, blueberry, and cherries. Nice smooth tannins. Long finish. This is the best red wine made in Michigan.
