Decanted about 5 hours. Nose of cherry and cola, some cedar and smoke.

On the palate is cedar, red and black fruits, roasted meats, some chocolate, wood, with a little heat on the finish. Very nice mouth feel for wine at this price point. This is a great little everyday quaffer that is quickly becoming a standard cellar guard. Definitely new world/fruit forward style which won't appeal to old world wine fans. If you like ripe fruit, this is a keeper.

Bright, bit forward, simple wine with a rough but not unpleasant finish.
