This is a lovely wine, supple and layered. The fruit flavors bring ripeness to cantaloup melon, white-peach and lemon meringue components. The wine spent 10 months in 30% new French oak, which seems just right for the overall balance.
Deep bright red color. Strawberry raspberry jam- a powerful fruity nose with a hint of violet. The brightness show up front the vivacity of the fruit with layers of black and red cherry. The structure is round with just enough tannin characteristic to age very well on a light creamy coffee roast finish.
