This is a bold, tannic, very flavorful wine that needs to pair with an epic meat dish. It smells like black cherry and cranberry, tastes almost chocolaty, and feels thick and dense with fine tannins…

Aromas of coffee, chocolate and fresh herbs are followed by grainy dark fruit flavors. The tannins need some time to stretch their legs.
