Quite aromatic with black cherry, plum, light smoke, cassis and some spice. On the palate it is dry and juicy with flavors of cherry, plum, campfire, and smoke. It is medium body with medium acidity and soft tannins.

"Blueberry, plum, tobacco and citrus-zest aromas. It’s medium-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins. Fresh and juicy with good structure. Drink or hold."
