Dark purple with aromas of plums, blackberry, cassis and black current with a hint of spicy vanilla from time in barrel. Delicious entry, rich mid-palate and supple tannins with a touch of black cherry shining through. The dark fruits and spice carry through a long finish with great concentration of flavor. This burnt red colored blend opens with an appealing bouquet of earthy and musty black cherry along with hints of herbs and light oak. On the palate, it is full bodied, smooth and slightly dry. The flavor profile is black fruit including black cherry, black raspberries, spicy black licorice, light oak, plum and black tea. The tannins are balanced, and the structure is good.
