Cigar box aromas with cherries and black fruit. A bit stalky and green suggests it could use a bit of bottle age. Not bad for the price.

Deep ruby in color with a light red rim. Shows real youth.

Gorgeous nose with blackberries, blueberries, Figs, plums, vanilla, oak, spices, coffee, light licorice, cranberries and black pepper.

Dry on the palate and spicy with sweet cherries, strawberries, blueberries, wood, vanilla and dark chocolate.

Long finish with big, round, green tannins and peppercorn.

Full bodied with medium acidity and great long legs.

A Great Cab that went great with my fillet minon . Drinking well now. Better in 3 to 5 years. Nice and Balanced.

14.8% alcohol by volume.
