The color is very deep, clear purple with ruby hues. On the nose, it is intense, dense and fresh due to the Cabernet Franc. Aromas are focused on the ripe fruit (red mulberry red cherries and ripestrawberry) coupled with sweet aromas as chocolate, cinnamon, cedar and delicate barrique. Flavors are consistent with aromas with the fruit being more powerful. The finish has duration, volume andcomplexity.
