Pours purplish ruby hue, smells of plum, chocolate, and oak. The taste is soft and decadent with flavors of plum, black cherry, blackberry, and chocolate on a smooth full body. The finish is long and moderately bitter and with a low acidity, featuring notes of dark chocolate, oak, tobacco, forest floor, bourbon, and red meat. Overall this is a very intense wine, bold and zesty but still balanced and quite enjoyable with a hearty meal.
