Full-bodied dry red wine, medium deep ruby red. Aromas of red raspberries, touch of pencil shavings, developing spicy characters as the wine opens. On the palate, a touch of vanilla mingles with red fruit flavors. The long finish brings the fruit into focus, and supple tannins make for a pleasant drink. Grapes: Merlot (60%) Syrah (23%), Cabernet Sauvignon (17%). Room temperature (70 degrees) is fine, and doesn't emphasize the alcohol. Serve in Bordeaux glasses.

Red fruit really comes through, but a lot of heat upon first taste.
