Review:

The nose offers aromas of blackberries, cherry, and plum rounded out by notes of toasty oak and earth. A sip reveals flavors of blackberries and cherry with suggestions of earth, oak, and cocoa. A rich, slightly robust wine, it has solid tannins making it ideal for fans of fruit-driven red with a big structure.
