This is a tempting and sylish wine. A seductive aroma influenced by new oak resembles toasted baguette slices, cedar and cardamom, then generous flavors like ripe black cherry and blueberry come on. It’s medium to full bodied, broad and smooth in texture with enough fine-grained tannin to give it some heft.
