Tasting Notes:

Color: the look is decadently ruby, completely opaque in quality. 

Aroma: the nose offers a combination of fruitcake, bright cherry, and vanilla supplemented by subtle spice. 

Palate: the palate is rich, creamy, and full-bodied with velvety tannins and balanced acidity.  There is a decadent core of mocha, vanilla, and fruit that deftly rides the line between acceptable and overkill, offering one of the most decadent reds.

Pairings:  You need something ridiculously decadent to stand up to this; think braised short ribs.
