Ruby in color and displays aromas of lavender, cedar and raspberry fruit.  Flavors of blackberries and raspberries combined with hints of savory spices coat the palate.  The soft tannins and sweet oak balance lead to a long and lingering finish. (Vintage Cellar)

This was a very nice red.  Just on color it looked like it was liquefied raspberry jam.  On the nose it matched its appearance with a strong dark fruit jammy-ness.  It also had an aroma I couldn't really place but to be honest it kinda smelled like someone had just washed their hair with a sweet shampoo and then stuck it in my face.  On the palate, it was again very jammy and full of sweet dark fruit.  I thought of raspberry and blackberry instantly.  It was slightly dry but at the same time a very smooth wine.  It went down very easily with it having that dry component to it.  Also, I couldn't really pick up much if any heat to it at all.  This was a very enjoyable wine for me.
