Brown brick red color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate covered caramel and cherry sauce, grape and cherry hard candies, leather, and stewed prunes with a glycerous, crisp, fruity sweet medium-full body and a warming, compelling, medium-long finish with notes of cherry tootsie roll pop, vanilla and cocoa, leather, and sage and thyme. A tasty dessert wine that will pair with chocolate, berry reduction sauces, and a mild cigar.
