"(fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for a year in new and used American oak barrels) Saturated ruby. Ripe dark berries, vanilla, baking spices and pungent flowers on the deeply perfumed nose. Plush, oak-accented blackberry and cassis flavors are joined by a mocha element that builds as the wine opens with air. The spicy note repeats on the long, subtly tannic finish, which leaves a bitter cherry note behind. - Josh Raynolds"
