Wine Review: This dark red wine has a spicy cinnamon and dark cherry bouquet. On the palate, the wine is round, smooth, and a bit tangy. This wine is very food friendly and drinkable now. The finish is very dry, a bit tannic, and slightly extended. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Blackberry and cherry fruit tones dominate the nose, with fruitcake, plum, and hints of violets, coffee, chocolate and caramel. A rich, supple and fleshy full-bodied palate finishes with balanced, fine tannins.
