"Light ruby black color. Aromas and flavors of fresh turned soil, sautéed shitake, dried cherries, dates, vanilla, coffee, and grilled plum with a satiny, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, intriguing, medium-long finish manifesting overtones of olives, herbs, and rhubarb with fine, well-integrated, coating tannins and a suggestion of oak flavor. A delightful red that manages to be both bright and rich, fruity and savory."
