Well-balanced and subtle wine with a rich, mellow texture. The nose is centered around by suggestions of oak, cherry, and vanilla, with a touch of sweetness. The impression is soft and easy to drink, with layers of rich chocolate, plum, and deep fruit. A delightful finish, making it a fantastic top pick for a special occasion. Worth the price for a nice evening dinner, but not the best affordability for the price.

Surprisingly light structure, yet powerful in its red fruit and earthy undertones, with a decadent cherry and vanilla oak presence.
