Intense raspberry on the nose and in the mouth. Earthyness and hints of carmel. This is a hot wine when first opened, but mellows over time in the glass.

Clear ruby-like purple red color, deep but not opaque. Moderate nose of black cherries and bittersweet chocolate. Palate shows a touch of carbonization (perhaps trapped CO2?), sour cherry fruit and weak tannin. Pleasant enough, but not at all exceptional, though it had enough character to stand up to the Salmon Roll in Chipotle Sauce that I served it with.

Dark deep red. Raspberry and strawberry with some tannin structure. This can definitely set a bit, but is great now.
