Tasting Notes:The color is a very intense ruby-red, shiny and vivid. A knockout nose of captivating complexity, brooding, bold and layered with black- and blueberry fruits, intermingled with notes of black cherry and plum, accented by hints of violet, espresso, exotic spices and sexy wood-smoke. Densely packed and broad on the palate, but creamy and round upon entry, with a backward, uplifted persistence. Finishes with dusty tannins and ripe succulent dark berry flavors, showing restraint and considerable class, mind blowing textures and terrific depth and concentration. As irresistible and friendly as it is right now, the wine expresses a wealth of aging and development potential. Tired of spending more and getting less? Try a wine that has been a proven performer time and time again. For under $25 it is one of the finest wines that ranks in the class of wines that are usually double and triple the money.
