An attractive, stony edge to the ripe mulberry and cherry aromas here. The palate has a very smooth feel with plush, fleshy texture and fresh, tangy red-berry flavors. Softens at the finish.

Jammy black plum and blackberry aromas include hints of oak, varietal spice and herbal notes. A healthy palate is flush and supported by easygoing tannins. Mixed black fruit flavors come with a touch of Cabernet Franc's noted herbal character, while this feels steady and smooth on the finish.
