Shane’s Notes

The aroma exudes sweet cherries and blackberries. It almost smells sweet enough to be a dessert wine. The palate is jammy, concentrated and tart with a sweet, floral/herbal flavor and an earthy underpinning. There is also just a hint of vanilla. The tannins are soft but a bit astringent. The finish is bone dry. The palate was rather simple but we still enjoyed it.
