The wine is a dark garnet color and is clear and translucent. The smells are cherry, damp forest floor; black currant, black olive, and strawberry with floral scents. The tastes are cherry, cedar, olive, stone, herbs, and dry leaves. The acidity is zingy while the tannins like course, furry velvet. The finish is long and seems a little woody.

The color is ruby garnet and the clarity is brilliant. The smells are cloves, cinnamon, raspberry, strawberry, and peppery tar smells. The tastes are cherry, raspberry, briary notes, rose water, peppery spices, and floral notes. The finish is lengthy with smooth tannins and nice acidity.

This wine is a clean and clear, translucent garnet color in the glass. The aroma is a little tight for the varietal and reminds me of strawberry, cranberry, and a faint smell of bret. The tastes are sour cherry, subtle indian spice, cranberry, and rose. The tannins are very fine but with firm grip and seem derived from fruit since they are prominent at the front of the mouth. The acidity is bright and the finish is long. This wine is elegant and structured and might benefit from a little more aging.

Beautiful berry, cherry, with only slight hints of strawberry. Beautifully light, but with good carry. Wonderfully done.
