Dark garnet red to the core with no lightening at the rim. This has a wonderful saturation of color. On the nose there is a dusty graphite quality, crushed blackberries, mulled spices and sweet oak. On the palate the entry is simply seamless. The mid palate is full and rich and coats the palate from side to side.Roasted meats, spices- cloves and spearmint trail off to a long and supple finish that shows no trace of bitterness or angularity but is loaded with sweetness and silk. Seamless is probably the word that would best be used to describe this wine.A great example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.
