Nose

An inexpensive wine with expensive structure and deep color. Intense black-fruit scents are accompanied by hints of wood spice, cinnamon, rose and a suggestion of white pepper.

Palate

Blackberry, black cherry, and currant are delivered on a big palate with balanced acidity and firm tannins. A persistent cherry flavor flows start to finish with a savory herbal note intertwined with cedar and toast.
