Some red and black fruits on the nose with cedar and clove notes. A medium-to-full-bodied red with firm tannins, good acidity and a fruity, medium finish. Better in 2016.
Deep black cherry. Cedar and cassis lively on the nose though a slight greenness under that. Pretty herbaceous on the palate but the tannins have been well handled and show no greenness. Rounded, fine tannins.
A bright ruby colour with sweet, smoky spices offering an exotic edge to a nose of brambly cherry fruit. The palate is smooth, soft, and plush with sweet vanilla and red cherry. The tannins are soft, supple, and integrated, meanign this wine is ready to drink. The oak is evident in spice and savour, but well balanced and in harmony with the fresh fruit and acidity on the finish.
