Dark garnet color. Aromas and flavors of black currant, cherry, vanilla, and eucalyptus with a round, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, compelling, medium-long finish that shows notes of black cherry and blackberry, red and black cassis, mint and cocoa, and vanilla and berries with crunchy, medium tannins and light oak flavor. A red wine with black and red fruit that has a brightness alongside a smart use of oak that doesn’t weigh it down.
