WineO Mark Review

This wine has a concentrated aroma of cinnamon, ripe plum, and oak.

The flavors of blackberry, and plum stand out the most with the vanilla, oak, and chocolate creating a balanced finish. You can expect a medium-bodied, well-balanced, and smooth wine with moderate tannins.

And for a Napa Valley red wine, its priced at a very good value.
