Rich, ripe, generous, lots of dark and chewy fruit, good structure with no hard edges and good length.

2005 vintage
Med. intensity nose of leather, caramel, licorice, raspberry jam, tar.
Dry, med. body, medium, drying tannins. More restrained palate of tar, cooked raspberry, and charred wood. Good quality, good value.
Enjoy with pulled pork or St. George cheese.

Poorly balanced; hollow with noticible acidity and strong tannins.
