Warm, fruity and full of blackberry aromas as well as touches of citrus peel. The palate is lean and firm in the middle and tannic on the sides, and it’s carrying flavors of raspberry and black cherry. This wine has good stuff but it also runs choppy, jagged and rough. Flavorful but lacks finesse. 50,000 cases made.——M.S.(6/1/2007)—— 85
