"Aged for 12 months in American oak barrels. Deep red color. The wine is deep and rich smelling with dark fruits plums and spice with some good oak. There is very rich fruit on the palate with plums blackberry and sweet spice from the oak. The palate is vibrant and young with a flavorsome viscous mouthfeel which will develop complexity with time. There are some slightly chewy tannins which will soften with time and there is great length of fruit flavor." Winemaker's Notes
