Ruby color. Inviting aromas and flavors of cherry fudge, buttery toasty oak, and smoked vanilla with a supple, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a sleek, interesting, long finish imparting touches of cherries, beets, blackberry, and dried leaves with well-integrated, fine tannins and light oak flavor. A very nice reserve style red blend made from grapes not usual paired together; the Pinot comes through with dried leaves and cherries and the Cabernet adds backbone and heft that will make this a crowd-pleaser for most red wine drinkers.
