Carlson Charades Red Blend

My initial sniff reveals aromas of darker red fruits which to me consist of Raspberries, Strawberries and Rhubarb. I also pick up a little coffee and mocha after sitting in the glass for a few minutes. This is a very heady wine which really opens up with a little time in the glass. Once I taste the wine, my palate has a very even coating of fruit and flavor. The palate also has a nice firm grip to it and the tannins are very even and chalky. Overall the wine has really nice balance.
