Violet color. Aromas and flavors of blueberry and blackberry, leather, mocha, and tobacco, and cedar with a round, lively, bone-dry medium-full body and a warming, interesting, medium-long finish that exhibits touches of red and black berries, chocolate covered acai, cherry cordials, and black tea with well-integrated, coating, firm, woody, drying tannins and moderate oak flavor. Powerful and lush red and black fruits with layers of oak that will integrate and show best with years in cellar.
