Winery Review:  Deep ruby red color with violet highlights and a pleasant and fruity bouquet. Full bodied, soft tannins and good acidity. Excellent with pasta dishes and red meats.

Personal Review:  Lots of fruit in the aromas, especially cherries and plums. Obviously was stored and aged in a burned barrel, with strong spices and smokiness in the flavors from start to finish. A little too dark for my liking.
