You are greeted with scents of black cherry, raspberry and caramel, then a rush of dried cranberry, raspberry and vanilla followed by sweet wood and light spice.  A smooth velvety mouth feel with a balanced mid palate.  The wine lingers on the tongue - dry yet creamy, smooth yet smoky.  A beautiful classic pinot noir garnet color with medium acids and medium tannins.
