Dusty ruby color. Aromas and flavors of dried berries with cocoa, floral tea chai, tootsie roll, and vanilla with a round, dryish medium body and a peppery, charming, medium-long finish imparting impressions of vanilla cream red cherry and cherry chocolate peppermint bark with well-integrated tannins and moderate oak flavor. An alluring and nicely balanced Bourbon-barrel aged Cabernet with juicy fruit and delicate barrel-tinged cocoa and spice.
