"This is a dark, powerful wine, extracted from slowly and fully ripened fruit. On the nose the wine offers copious aromas of black cherry, blackberry, black licorice, raspberry with nicely integrated, lightly toasted and spicy oak aromas, and hints of vanilla. In the background there are hints of red pepper and spice, which elevate and balance the aromas of this wine. On the palate, the wine is bold and well-extracted. It bursts on to the palate with a deeply layered texture and medium grain tannins, followed by a lush mid-palate on long lingering finish." -Winery
