Ruby black color. Aromas and flavors of fruit leather, herbed evoo, spumoni, and chocolate cake with a satiny, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a sleek, interesting, medium-length finish with shades of cherry and strawberry compote, honey roasted nuts, and delicate brown spices with chewy, dusty tannins and moderate oak flavor. An inviting and generous Spanish red that will cover many bases with aplomb; brooding dark fruit is backed with savory chocolate and oak flavors.
