Tasting Note:August 10, 2016

Bright ruby red. Solid oak influence on the nose showing vanilla, cinnamon and more mixed in baking spices. A bit of red currants as well. Moderate tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Layered palate with an attack of red cherries that moves onto baking spices. Great structure and more approachable than the 2013.
