					<description><![CDATA[Deep ruby color; black cherry, plum, blackberry, black raspberry, mixed-berry compote, mocha, forest floor, lavender, violets on the nose and palate. Dry; firm, ripe tannins; balancing acidity. Full body, plush mouthfeel, smooth, round.

					<description><![CDATA[Deep ruby color; Bing cherry, black raspberry, blueberry, pepper, chocolate, licorice, smoke, violets on the nose and palate. Dry; firm, grippy tannins; balancing, mouth-watering acidity. Full body. Concentrated dark fruit flavor; consider decanting.
