Garnet black color. Aromas and flavors of grilled cedar plank, black cherry, raspberry jam, and bouquet of red and purple flowers with a velvety, vibrant, bone-dry medium-to-full body and a warming, refreshing, medium-long finish with accents of raspberry and currants, mild black tea, polished leather, and cranberry rooibos tea with well-integrated, medium, fine tannins and a suggestion of oak flavor. All bright red fruits with grippy and earthy tannins, this wine would pair well with juicy cheeseburger.
