This wine is robust in blackberry jam, cassis and mocha-chocolate flavors, but has good acids and firm tannins, and a soft, voluptuous texture with an initial hint of nature.

Walk into a Lowe's or Home Depot, go to their lumber department, saw a fresh 2-by-4, and then inhale deeply the resultant saw dust. Then, walk up and down the aisles, find the fresh timber in the shelves, smell deeply, you will know this wine's aroma. A major trip to the oak and wood factory. There is some fruit present, but after you open the bottle the fruit seems to have run away. A short and insipid finish. Overall, it's a great treat if you love a sleazy oak romp.
