There’s a solid oak presence here in the form of chocolate, espresso and spice as well as distinctive tones that recall barbecue sauce, hickory and smoke. You’ll get chewy cherry and sweet blackberry flavors in the mouth as well as thick tannins on the close.

This wine has a great nose: layers of spice, leather, black cherry, prunes, candied licorice and cinnamon. Oak aging renders a smooth, round mouthfeel and good structure. Imported by John Given Wines.
