"Deep ruby. Ripe cherry, cassis, cured tobacco, pungent flowers and vanilla on the highly perfumed nose, along with a smoky topnote. Fleshy, dark berry and fruitcake flavors are supported by a spine of juicy acidity and become spicier with aeration. Conveys an appealing blend of depth and vivacity and finishes sweet and persistent, with harmonious tannins and lingering cherry and vanilla notes. - Josh Raynolds"
