Dark berry fruit, hints of spice and light toasted oak, vanilla tones on the nose in this wine. On the palate the wine is massive, it is a celebration of the depth that can be attained with this varietal in Oak Knoll District. The attack is huge, followed by wave after wave of berry fruit flavors. The tannins have a lot of depth, but the underlying fruit character is so deep that this wine will develop beautifully over time. The finish is big, and lingers with dark red berry fruit and toasted oak.
