Sample
A bright reflective red in the glass, the nose is attractive and combines bright cherry and plum fruit with oak spice shining through.

A juicy, mouth filling wine that carries it's 15% alcohol well, up front sweet cherry and wild strawberry receives a dusting of spice before drying tannin and broader dark fruits drive concentration towards the finish that is drying with some bitter dark chocolate lingering.
