An easy wine with pleasant aromas and flavors of cherries, plums and violets. It’s quite dry in the mouth, with dusty tannins. Has lots to like, although it could use more fruity concentration.

There are some nice things going on here, including the blackberry, espresso and spicy flavors infused with pleasant herbs. It’s also quite dry and the tannins are firm enough to stand up to a big roast. Turns rough and astringent on the finish.

Starts with modest aromas of fruits and oak that turn tart and earthy in the mouth, with suggestions of peaches and apples. Finishes short and dry.
