"Deep, vivid ruby color. Mineral-accented black raspberry, cherry, violet and cracked pepper scents, along with smoky bacon and cola nuances. Sweet and expansive in the mouth, offering ripe cassis, cherry-cola and spicecake flavors that become livelier as the wine opens up. Shows sharp delineation and dark fruit thrust on a persistent finish that's framed by steadily building tannins. 20% new oak. - Josh RAYNOLDS"
