Slightly brambled on the nose, but more than that there’s a strong essence of candied fruit, marshmallow and overt sweetness to the bouquet. Once it settles, the wine offers creamy, candied red-fruit flavors and then a sweet, slightly tannic finish. Wide and voluminous, but not overly refined. 25,000 cases made.——M.S.(5/1/2009)—— 85
