Aromas and flavors of blackberry, black plum and black cherry, and saddle leather with a round, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, delightful, medium-long finish with accents of blackberry, baked boysenberry, leather and cracked black pepper, and balsamic with well-integrated, coating, fine, chalky tannins and a suggestion of oak flavor. Rich black fruits with good structure, this will pair well with short rib or braised lamb shank."
