Aromas of cherry, sweet plum, pipe tobacco, dried earth and licorice notes flow from the glass. Medium-bodied with soft tannins and gentle finish with some spice flavors lingering. This is not a wine you want to keep in the cellar for the long term so drink it over the next 2-4 years. 80% Merlot and 20& Cabernet Sauvignon. (Best 2013-2016) - October, 2012 (JD)
