Medium bodied, integrating beautifully the rich ripe fruit with the sweet spices provided by the oak.

 

This dark violet-red-colored wine has a nose of fruits of the wood, dark chocolate and bacon. A nice smoky note on the palate underlies plush tannins. Blackberry, cassis, mocha, espresso and aniseed flavors melt into a long, spicy finish. — Mike DeSimone 93 Points Wine Enthusiast
