This red blend is fantastic. Great deep, dark fruit flavor, with a little licorice and cedar. Needs to sit in the glass for a good 20 minutes to open up.

Pretty nose of granite and crushed berries.

Nice mouthfeel with a velvet texture. Slightly compressed finish with dark fruits and a large dose of vanilla - this is a good price and is a crowd-pleaser.
