This wine opens with cassis, vanilla, and blackberry on the nose. The color is garnet with a purple rim. Legs are medium to light with blueberry, blackberry, cassis, chocolate and oak on the palate. The finish is a long spicy one with notes of blueberry. Well balanced with low tannins. Second day was harsh and smokey oak.

Hennepin Lake Charity Tasting Event: This was drinking pretty young with lots of oak in the front. Plenty of dark red fruit in the background with good structure. This may integrate nicely in a couple years. 88(+)pts.

This wine opens with dark inviting color and aromas of deep wood. the taste is rich and earnest with power and spice for a long lingering finish.
