Medium to dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of blackberry and black plum. In the mouth, juicy blackberry and black cherry fruit is shot through with a touch of orange peel, as gauzy tannins coat the mouth. Floral notes linger in the finish. The acidity here is slightly softer than I would like but overall the wine is quite pretty.
