Beautiful aromatic lead to a rich blend of cherries, lush strawberry pie and a hint of sweet tobacco on the palate. Finishes with a blueberry and wild berry mix with more cherries capping off the nose. Made in a rich Burgundian style with full throttle California fruit which bodes well for supreme enjoyment over the next 5+ years, peaking around 2014. Decant 45 minutes if popping the cork prior 2012.
