Sweet nose of blackberries makes you think the wine is going to be over-done, but it turns out to be really well balanced with hints of black and red fruits, maybe a little coffee, and finishes with nice tannins. I think it will be even better in another year or two.

Good wine. It has a smokey, meaty nose, and a touch of sweet berries on the palate. The only fault that I find with it is that it is high in alcohol, it's well balanced enough that you don't notice it until the very finish, but a little less alcohol and this would be absolutely outstanding.

Really nice light wine, melons, lemongrass, and citrus. This is a great summertime wine.
