"Shows ripe black cherry and plum aromas on the nose with a little cranberry and a healthy dose of vanilla and oak. Rich and fuller bodied there is an intensity to the black cherry flavors here with vanilla to round it out. Layers of chocolate and oak bring a little complexity before a sour cherry/cranberry note emerges on the medium-length finish. Fresh but balanced acidity provides most of the structure here keeping it from being too soft or flabby. Acidity isn't uncommon in red hybrids but it's not excessively high here like it can be."
