Juicy, rich and fairly plush on the palate. The flavors are redolent of jammy blackberry, plum, cherry, spice, toast, vanilla and herbs. Silky tannins hold it together, finishing with good length.

Soft, ripely sweet, filled with fruity flavors, draped with smoky oak, and frankly delicious. It’s made in the international style, with long, fat flavors that coat the palate and linger into the finish. It will go with a wide range of foods.

Versatile and friendly, a rich red wine abounding in cherry, plum and mocha flavors. It’s a bit soft, and may get swamped by a spicy tomato sauce, but it’s an easy drink.
