Sample
A melange of dark fruits on the nose with blackberry, plum, dark cherry and cocoa giving some background complexity.

Blackberry is well defined with some liquorice notes and a broader baseline of rich plummy fruit. Tannins are fine and acidity well handled with enough drive to stop richer fruit characters from getting out of hand. The finish has a wisp of cedar spice to dark fruits. Definite value here for $20.
