A very fruity, forward wine that’s rich and friendly and quite delicious. The nose tips things off with black plum, chocolate and other sweet, dense aromas, while the palate is full of boysenberry, raspberry, cherry and fine tannins and overall balance. Simply put, this is a fine RDD with vibrancy and lots of quality. Drink now–2018. ——M.S.(10/1/2010)—— 92
