3 hour decant. An attack of sweet crushed berries (cherries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries). Seamless transition to a vanilla and oak midpalate. Combine this with the texture of the wine and it gives a creme brulee sensation. Tannins still present, but pleasurable.
Very new world style wine, but not fake or over the top. Really lovely.

The wine is starting to throw off quite a bit of sediment. The tannins are falling out of the wine, but there is still quite a bit of fruit in the wine. This makes it a GREAT choice for spicy and hearty foods. We had with a Morroccan lamb.

Deep, rich nose. It has a strong berry flavor, but I am not identifying it well.

One of Bri and my favorites. Great nose, with very fruity with a little earth for balence. We strongly recommend this wine with any strong food.
