Intensity and subtle power are the hallmarks of this full-bodied, very ripe and fruit-saturated wine. While waves of blackberry jam and sweet black cherry coat the tongue, a sense of sweetness and viscosity clings to the sides of the mouth.

Medium- to full-bodied, it's very smooth, well polished and easy to enjoy. Not too ripe or too sweet, but sophisticated in style, it delivers moderately ripe raspberry and blueberry flavors, soft tannins and a lingering fruity finish.
