A big, deep, fruity, rich wine. A bit more complexity and it would have been outstanding, but as is, it's really nice. Saturated black ruby/violet. Intense nose of ripe mixed berries and plums, along with wafts of sweet, high-toned smoke. Intense and pure in the mouth. Hits right away with weighty, dense ripe dark berry fruit and dark, gravelly minerals. Lots of weight, but not overbearing, the flavors tenaciously cling to the mouth. Very full bodied and moderately tannic. This wine does not skimp on flavor. A-/B+. Was $14.99 at Total Wine in Fairfax, VA.
