Dark ruby. Intense, spicy aromas of cassis, dark cherry, licorice, cigar box and clove. Large-scaled and dense, with solid structure and good focus. Powerful flavors of ripe cherry, red plum and spicy oak. The long, weighty finish displays chewy tannins and admirable sweet berry flavor.(Epicurean Wines,Seattle WA
