Dark garnet black color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate toffee and espresso beans, dark berry pie crust, tamarind, and stewed cherry with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a smooth, interesting, medium-long finish revealing notes of blackberry compote, nuts, and slate with well-integrated, chewy tannins and moderate oak flavor. A smooth and chocolatey red blend with lots of structure for a rich meal now or sipping later.
