Medium-dark garnet in color. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of red cherries, strawberries & cranberries with overtones of floral & earthy notes, hints of spices & herbs, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Medium bodied with a good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of red cherries, strawberries & cranberries, spices, herbs, minerals & a hint of vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well with extended airing but should develop further with additional aging if cellared properly.
