  This wine exhibits dark aromas of black cherries, with hints of toast, plum, and sweet tobacco. The wine is earthy, savory on the palate with a lovely long finish full of fine tannins, red fruits and cocoa.

  Deep, dark garnet in color, bordering on opaque in color. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe red fruits aromas of cherries, blueberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & spice/herbal notes, olives, peppery, & hint of vanilla in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, plush, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, cranberries & plums with spices, herbs & a touch of vanilla. Lingering finish. Readily accessible at present with decanting & airing, it has the fruit & structure to develop further with additional aging. A blend of 33% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot & 7% Malbec.

  N: Complex, a bit tough to parse, but with earth, pyrazines/toast (certainly), undertones of berries, poss dk choc?
  
  P: LM, poss Med, body; RNDISH entry with NICE, almost swtish frt met by a very, VERY slightly astringent pucker which quite loses the majority of its toughness by the LONG, choc cherry finish with a classy, tangy swtness to the MINIMAL, very, VERY fine tannins. A relatively ELEGANT style for now & likely into, if not through, '21. IMPRESSIVELY done! 13.7% ABV; My EXC-/EXC, the higher most DEFINITELY if one is still able to take advantage of COSTCO's $16.99 special!
