Wine Review: This opaque and very dark purple colored red blend opens with a mild black cherry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, smooth and reserved. The flavor profile is a mild ripe plum and mild black currant blend with hints of old oak and touch of anise. The finish is dry and its rather tannic and sticky for a 2007 vintage. This wine still need s some fat. I would serve it with a big and juicy ribeye. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Beautiful dark hues with generous viscosity. This wine exudes fragrant floral characters partnered with dark fruits. Aromas of blackberry jam, baked pie crust, currant, vanilla and blueberry. The flavors consist of bright red fruits which are layered with cocoa powder and mocha. The tannins are prevalent in the mid-palate and lead to a long, lingering finish.
