Bright ruby-red. Sexy aromas of dark raspberry, cola, sandalwood and sweet oak. A step up in flavor intensity over the regional bottlings, with notes of candied blackberry, strawberry and vanilla. Riper and sweeter than the RRV bottling, but kept fresh by firm acidity. Finishes with chewy, building, rather suave tannins.
