Beautiful ripe fruit with flavors of dried black fruit and cherry. Aromas of leather, subtle oak spices and vanilla integrate with the fruit, leading to a nice, generous finish. The wine is dark purple in color. This wine was bottled early to retain fruit and is quite drinkable for a wine so young. While this wine was produced for early consumption, it will improve substantially with additional time in bottle. With proper storage this wine should age well for five years.
