The wine opens with aromas of ripe cherries, blueberries, blackberries and spicy notes of nutmeg and licorice. The flavors mirror aromas with ripe cherries, currants, strawberries and cherries and a hint of cinnamon and vanilla. The mouth feel is full bodied and mouth-coating with silky tannins and a nice acidity. The mouth feel is soft and round with a long, lingering finish. The wine is ready to drink now and will cellar well for 2-3 years.
