Red delicious apples first come to mind, opening up to rose petals and cranberries. There are layers of fruits ranging from raspberries and blackberries to exotic tropicals like mango. The oak adds a nice soft vanilla and spice to round it out. The palate is seamlessly balanced with the weight of the wine to the expressive fruit nature. The flavors range from light red fruits and apples to spicy currants, toast and vanilla. The full silky texture and extreme length to the finish make this wine extremely desirous.
