Drinking the 2012 in 2015. Nose of ripe black fruit (plums and blackberries) with a touch of oak. Mild tannins, good spice, bold flavor. Excellent sipping wine, doesn't need a lot of fat.

Ruby red in color ( 70% translucent ).

Beautiful nose with blackberries, figs, plums, vanilla, spices and chocolate.

Fruity palate with blueberries, blackberries, plums, cranberries, vanilla, oak and wood.

Long finish with ripe tannins and black pepper.
A Very nice Napa valley blend. Enjoyed it by itself.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Favorite wine at the $25 price point. Excellent every-day-of-the-week wine. Not too overbearing of a fruit taste that is smooth without. Great finish.
