Garnet color. Fruity, oaky aromas and flavors of black cherry tea, baking spice, and chocolate covered raisins with a round, soft, medium-to-full body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish displaying touches of cocoa powder, raspberry liqueur, and coconut with toothsome tannins and light oak flavor. Bring on the grilled meats for the juicy fruit and generous oak in this cabernet-led blend—think tattooed arms dressed up in a suit.
