5 people found it helpfulAug 18th, 2013A sweet nose with a bit of smoke characteristics. Strong blackberry and current flavors. Finishes with plum, small amount of pepper and an oaky vanilla ( American oak) flavor. Tannins are mild. This wine is full of flavor and the oak is mild for Napa. The wine maker will tell you there is a dark chocolate flavoring but there is not much to it. That bitterness in the finish is the dark chocolate flavor... But it's a stretch.
