Dark ruby color. Aromas of cocoa dusted strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate, cherry juice, vanilla and grenadine, and purple florals with a velvety, lively, dryish light-to-medium body and a warming, appealing, snappy ripe red berries, cocoa, leather and vanilla, and sweet tea finish with well-integrated, medium tannins and a suggestion of oak flavor. Tasty waves of numerous ripe red berries and fruits; like a Pinot Noir Hawaiian Punch jam band.
