Sample
A bright and vibrant red in the glass with punchy red cherry and plum, some sweeter toffee apple tones and cedar oak. Oak is a dominant force on the palate and gives a smokey and charred character to the wine that overwhelms the lighter, crunchy red berry fruits. The oak tannin is overpowering to finish, and leaves a faint bitterness. One for those who like lots of oak, but a wine that could have broader appeal as there is some nice fruit in the background and good use of acidity.
