Toasted chocolate covered cherries that took a quick dip in the fire. Let 'er open up a bit and there's some added intrigue for the nose. The tannins approach chewiness but remain on the tame side of that traverse.
A balanced blend that's very approachable. In the glass, it's a deep dark robe thanks to the petit verdot that makes up over half of this blend. Cab Sauv and Merlot make up the other half.
