2010 Vintage. 14.8% Alcohol. Cherry cola with rosemary and sandalwood on the nose. Cherries, raspberries and good acidity. Big fruit, not a French style. #goldengate wine cellars. Thanks Frank!

Ripened fruit, fresh flowers, light pepper, ripe plum. Leaves too fast off the palate but still balanced.
