Richness and breadth are the strong suits of this full-bodied, deep-colored and ripe-tasting wine. Showing little oak character, it smells like blackberries and tastes like black cherries and clove. Moderate tannins balance against the fruitiness.

This concentrated wine is also well balanced. Deep red color comes with bright aromas that combine red and black cherries with cranberries. Flavors repeat the cherry-berry mix and ride on a surprisingly light, agile texture. Tasty now, it should gain complexity through 2020.
