right red cherry, raspberries and spices form the base of the nose, with a hint of dried herbs and sweet oak nuances joining in. Medium-boded with silky tannins and a core red berry fruit a that leads into the fresh finish. This is drinking accessible today, but should also hold up nicely with some short term cellaring.
