Lighter ruby in color with some Burgundian character. Soft seet oak and cherry on the nose.Some briar and bramble on the palate with smooth texture but definite structure. Some cherry cola but not overly complicated. Some citrus and definite red fruit nuances.

A nice wine, but I was having trouble getting much from it, very restrained. Slowly opened over the course of a dinner, to a nice nose of strawberries. Some heat from the 14.5% alc. , but it was well balanced and integrated overall. There just wasn't enough going on for me to put it in the 90s for my palate.

Bright garnet, a bit lighter than most. Herb-laced aromatics and cherry on the nose. Elegant with a mix of black cherry and dried berry flavors. Smoky, sweet red fruit. Good structure and richness,
