Ruby black color. Aromas and flavors of baked cherries, mocha, and blackberries and black currant with a round, lively, bone-dry medium-full body and a warming, interesting, medium-long finish conveying shades of red and black cherries and currants, black plum and blackberry, mocha, and toasted vanilla bean with fine, well-integrated tannins and moderate oak flavor. A very good wine with the potential for excellence with cellaring and decanting but showing all of the right stuff in this youthful stage.
