This wine is spicy from new wood with ripe, black plum flavors and a polished feel to it. The dark tannins give a powerful structure, well integrated with the sweet fruit.

This is ripe and focused, with dark plum and black licorice notes kissed by a whiff of cocoa. This doesn't show a lot of range, but what's there is very solid. Drink now through 2014. 7,000 cases made.
