This pleasant, medium-bodied wine stays 11 months in French oak (30% new), so there's plenty of barrel influence. The cherry and herb notes manage to stand up to the wood treatment, which adds a layer of mocha flavor and a touch of bitterness. Drink now–2017.

This is pleasant but on the light side, with hints of tomato and herb accenting cherry fruit. Slightly smoky notes add nuance to the aromas, but accentuate some coarseness on the finish.
