Description:
Beautiful ruby red color. Aromas of fresh, ripe fruits such as raspberry, cherry, and plum can be discerned in the rich nose, along with notes of caramel, dark chocolate, black olive, and cedar. On the palate, the firm yet elegant tannins bring structure and volume. A powerful, expressive wine with terrific freshness.
