The color is as brilliant and as rich as a garnet stone with one sexy nose. Rich and intoxicating with exotic spice aromas, rich lavender, bright cherry, a touch of leather and a smoky seductiveness that teases my nose back into the glass. Basically, this wine describes my impression of James Brown's song, "Get Up". The palate is equally seductive showing firm tannins, bright acidity and a lush, silky mouthfeel. It's well integrated with bright red berry flavors and just a touch of smoky tar in the background. Highly Recommended October 8, 2007 View

Deep red in color, clear and translucent. The nose reminds me off my mother spice drawer with cloves, allspice, cinnamon, anise and more, all backed by some rich dried fruits and cherry flavors. The best part is the wispy air of violets that seems to weave it's way through the crowd of smells to tease you. Wood is a factor but in a way that makes me feel like the bench I'm resting on is made of oak and the forest of smells, wrap around it, drawn to my alert nose. Full in the mouth with a medium acidity fine tannins that don't really play a strong role. The finish is short and somewhat disappointing after a nose that really excited me. Flavors on the palate run softer than on the nose but definitely show up, with a canvas of cherry, flowers, and chokecherry to sit apon. Highly Recommended October 9, 2007 View
