Winery Review: This is an extremely rich, full-bodied wine with a dark fruit core. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis, and dark cherry are followed by more berry fruits and chocolate and mocha on the palate.

My Review: This wine had a very full aroma, that most definitely hit you in the face either positively or negatively. I thoroughly enjoyed the aroma. It was full of berries, with a tiny hint of cassis. However, I am not sure I would drink it again due to the oakiness of the wine. It was clear that it was oaked for many months due to the rich oaky flavor.
