Nice marroonish red color to this dark wine. The nose on this is perfumy with dark spice, black cherry, roasted meats, and touches of vanilla. Complex and with more to show once it opens further. Rich pure fruit in the mouth, this is a wine to fall in love with. Cherry and spice, mix with super fine but mouth coating tannins. Lush and juicy, it is all balanced by a nice acidity. Oak is present but only as material that ties the rich flavors together. Wow, this is a big wine with few years yet to really reach its peak. Serious grilling wine!

Huge ripe cherries and spice. Dark and moderately syrupy with a great spicy body. Complex long meandering finish with a touch of chocolate.

The results of this struggle between vine and nature is a wine with tremendous saturation of color, round rich flavors of ripe plums, blackberries and cassis, balanced with notes of warm spices. The integrated tannins and the long, well developed finish are the culmination of gifted winemaking and 12 months of careful aging in French and American barrels.
