  Crystal clear ruby red in the glass with no signs of bricking at the edges. Scents of chocolate, dark berries, and spice reminded me more of Australia than California. In the mouth this was round, full, and offered flavors of black cherries, spice, blueberries, and other dark fruit followed with a hint of nutmeg and an obvious presence of alcohol on the finish. Unfortunately the 14.5% feels and tastes closer to 15+% with this wine. The heat was far too distracting for me to enjoy this. However, a co-worker of mine who prefers "larger" more typical California wines noted that she really liked this wine.
