Wine Enthusiast
A bit shy on the nose, this full-bodied red opens up on the palate with notes of blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry, red and black plum, chocolate, vanilla and licorice. Elevated (16.2%) alcohol is balanced by the ripeness and voluptuousness of the fruits and the firm tannic texture.
