The 2012 Proprietary Red Blend Hossfeld Coliseum (80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon) exhibits a big, plump, mocha, black cherry and blackcurrant-scented nose, a plush, fleshy, succulent texture, low acidity, and beautiful ripeness as well as length. This hedonistic red will drink well for 5-7 years.
