The wine has a deep ruby color with a slight purple hue. Aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry dominate the nose, with underlying notes of vanilla , mocha , and a touch of baking spice from oak aging.

The palate has velvet y tannins and balanced acidity. Lush flavors of dark fruit are complemented by nuances of cedar, espresso, and sweet tobacco.
