WINEMAKER'S NOTE
"Fresh cherry, tea and cedar aromas. Delicate flavors of cherry, tea and nutmeg laced with fine tannins. Lingering sweetness in the close with cedar, citrus peel and black pepper accents."-Wine News
Expert Reviews

International Wine CellarBright ruby-red. Plum, licorice and dusty oak on the nose, along with some slightly green tobacco leaf and sage tones. Then round, ripe and fairly soft in the mouth, made in an oaky and rather international style. Ultimately lacks definition and comes across as a bit innocuous. The oak turns slightly bitter on the finish.
