The aroma is rich and jammy (sweet cherries). The palate is juicy and herbal. Initially, the finish was very quick and very dry. As the wine opened, more flavors emerged. The palate was earthy and tart. Although not technically a flaw, there was a flavor that I didn’t like. It was mouth-puckering and reminded Jen of persimmons. Although not as complex, I actually liked their “Xplorador” Cab better.
