- Dark deep purple color, with great legs. Solid and fruity bouquet, with raisin undertones. Taste of plums, oak, and earth. Balanced and long aftertaste. Overall a great wine that goes well with almost anything.

- A straightforward, precise merlot with full-on blackberry and black cherry flavor And it's even more lovely tasted a day later, the pure black cherry flavor taking on spice. Buy a case to serve over the next several years, whenever beef is on the menu. -Wine & Spirits A beautiful deep red color is accompanied by aromas of black cherries, dark plums and boysenberries. This is complexed with layers of toasted oak, sweet vanilla and nutmeg. A soft entry and full mouthfeel is complemented by flavors of rich fruit, oak and velvety tannins. The wine follows with a long, soft and sweet finish. Alcohol Level: 13.9%

- Cherry chocolate nose. Lovely clean fruit, plums and fine tannins. Drink 2-5 years.

- Very ripe fruits of black cherries and plums dominate the heady aromas. Subtle nuances of bay, mint, roasted coffee bean, and spicy vanilla are also evident on the rich, velvety palate. The soft tannins lead to a long, soft finish.
