Medium red in color. The nose on this wine blossoms with a mix of spice and red fruits that picks up some nice smoky nuances as it opens up. The palate unfolds with a luscious combination of dark cherry fruit, dusty earth and spice that builds up to a long, tangy finish. With a nice, bright acidic structure, this wine has the structure to age gracefully and develop additional nuanced flavors, although it is a wonderful wine that can be enjoyed now with friends.
