Rich and ripe on the palate. Plush and full, brimming with plum, cherry, chocolate, spice, herb and vanilla flavors. Lively and long on the finish. A real treat.

Most tasters found the aroma dominated by oak, cocoa and herbs, but there’s a deep core of tart cherry and rhubarb fruit that, laced with youthful acidity, is clean and refreshing.

Air this young wine to let it show its candied cherry and raspberry flavors. It’s smooth and creamy, with some dusty tannins on the finish. Drink now with rich meats.

Aromas and flavors ranged from rich and balanced cherries to overripe raisins and underripe hay and grass. There’s a slightly sweet coffee edge to the fruit. Finishes with astringency.
