Ruby black color. Attractive, toasty aromas and flavors of berry pie a la mode, chocolate toffee and espresso beans, dulce de leche, and raspberry blossoms with a supple, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a warming, interesting, medium-long finish that exhibits nuances of dark roasted nuts and sweet peppers, marinated beets, peppered leafy greens, and hint of candied violets and cedar with chewy, woody tannins and moderate oak flavor. A nicely layered Cabernet Franc that has a nice combination of sweet and savory flavors with a floral high note.
