Tasting note

This wine is a deep ruby color, with nice aromas of black cherry, blackberries, leather, vanilla, and faint spices. It is balanced and smooth on the palate, with fine tannins and decent acidity played against over ripeness. The flavors are consistent with the aromas on the nose - black cherry, dark and red berries, with a bit of stewed plum, and accents of leather, vanilla, white pepper, earth and oak. Finishes with good length, on a theme of dark fruit, oak, leather and spice.
