Rich and ripe, this full-bodied wine offers lush black-plum aromas, a palate-coating texture, ripe but not sweet cherry and raisin flavors and a soft velvety mouthfeel. For a varietal known for its acidity, this wine is surprisingly soothing to sip.

This full-bodied wine gets more interesting with each sip, as generous cherry flavors gather light and almost sweet oak accents, and as fine-grained tannins build the texture. The flavors become mellow and more complex as they echo on the finish.
