A nicely structured, perfumed red wine building in the glass with black cherry and blackberry fruit, a hint of sous bois, or that kind of warm foresty redwood grove and earth aroma, and dusty clay mineral note, all framed by dusty Rutherford tannin that has a chocolaty quality to it, and a rich tapestry of velvety soft dark berry fruits, creme de cassis, and warm spices through the mineral-scented finish.
