Deep ruby color. Enticing vibrant, youthful aromas of ripe creamy black cherries and berries, with lots of savory earthiness and spice. Dry, full-bodied with lots of firm structuring tannins. Packed with ripe baked black fruits. Rich, smooth texture with notes of dried herbs, underbrush and minerality toward the back palate. Long, rich savory finish. ——W.E.(12/22/2011)—— 90
