Nice mint notes accent berry aromas. Flavors of coffee, burnt cherry and toast seem sturdy and legit, while the finish is lean, clean and only modestly tannic. Nicely balanced and solid; a wine that doesn’t bite off more than it can chew.

Spicy and rubbery on the nose, with a touch of heavy fruit providing the base. Shows ample cherry and berry flavors, but that fruit is a bit high-toned, meaning the back palate is mildly acidic and slightly sour. Needs food, with which it should fit the bill.
