The wine shows notes of dark cherry, plums, and rhubarb with hints of cigar box, clove, eucalyptus, and leather. Undertones of blackberry, dark chocolate, ripe currants, and baking spices come through on the finish. The oak is well integrated and leads to a fruit driven wine held tight with soft, fine grained tannins.
