Tasting Notes:

A near perfect growing season which produced an abundance of fruit.  A full bodied wine, with intense dark color and a bouquet of rich dark fruit. Notes of plums, ripe red berries, dark chocolate and spices. Even and balanced tannins up front and smooth on the palate.  Will pair nicely with food. Ready to drink now and will hold for years.
