Thoughts

This wine was OK—nothing too remarkable. It had too much vegetal character for my taste, but the finish was nicely balanced with a bit of redisual sweetness and a good amount of acidity.

Tasting Notes

  • Just barely dark ruby in color, more like medium-plus ruby
  • Primary aroumas of black cherry and black currant
  • Some vegetal aromas, specifically lots of carrot
  • Sublte cedar/resin, definitely some presence of oak
  • Spicy vanilla secondary aroma with some hints of clove
  • Medium tannin
  • Nicely balanced finish
