Wow.....17.6% alcohol in this one! Although I could taste this and the high alcohol was prominent, it did not seem overtly hot. However, I did find the fruit profile lacking. There were tones of bright cherry, raspberry and spice on the midpalate, but the overall impression was somewhat hollow. There was a pleasing fullness to the finish. It could possibly fatten up with a little time in the bottle. Kinda weird

Lighter color misleads. This is a big, smooth, chocolate-covered cherry of a wine. Balanced, despite the 17.6% alchohol, the finish is not overly hot.

light color but long finish. Will go well with rack of lamb or BBQ. Gina liked it and picked it.
