The wine has a vibrant ruby color with a scarlet band on the rim. The aromas take a minute to awaken, and then take off into a blend of ripe boysenberry, stone fruit, warm spice, and a hint of oak. A rich entry leads to a robust and savory mid-palate that is intense and concentrated with a persistent finish of ripe, soft tannins. Extremely well-balanced with proper weight and structure, the wine is ready to drink now.
