Bright red-ruby. Highly aromatic nose combines roasted cherry, raspberry, tobacco, brown spices and mint. Velvety, sweet and mouthfilling; a big, dense, smooth wine with compelling flavors of floral red berries, spice and mint nicely framed by vibrant, integrated acidity. Finishes with substantial but lush tannins and excellent persistence.
