Inky purple, med heavy weight. Aromas of licorice, oak, blueberry, blackberry. On the palate immediate blueberry and red fruit, soft tannins and leather/dust. V long finish. An elegant, if moderately more American/fruit-forward take on the traditional Bordeaux blend. Delicious and refreshingly non-generic.

Nice garnet color. The nose on day one was tight. Day two had cherries, cedar and a hint of rose. I wish it was a little bigger though. Nice red fruit, firm tannins.

Ran through aereator and got plum and oak. This could have set awhile to intergrate the oak more.

Solid well made wine. Full bodied and rich. Just gets better after opening.

Very nice, immediately on the nose. Mild tannins. The fruit is sweeter, dark fruit, with hints of spice. The finish is long and enjoyable
