Tasting Note:October 28, 2018

Deep ruby red with a light purplish hue. Dark nose with layers of red plums, cocoa, black cherries, and dark spices. Smooth and rounded on the palate with medium tannins (6/10). Medium bodied that builds up when you swirl it around. Notes of black cherries, raspberries, nutmeg, cinnamon sticks and graphite. Dry with a medium plus to long finish. Perfect themed wine for Halloween!
