Dark garnet color. Aromas and flavors of ripe plum, blackberry, and lilac with a satiny, vibrant, dryish medium-to-full body and a sleek, delightful, medium-length finish that shows shades of pomegranate, rose hips, and baking spices with well-integrated tannins. A firm, palate-pleasing red for effortless pairings.
