The 2011 RAMA displays a deep ruby hue with a bright edge that is complemented by a powerful nose redolent with bright red berries accented with black fruit and coffee along with enticing notes of spice and oak. The engaging and fruity entry effortlessly slides into a big mid-palate with cherry pie flavors supported by a bold mouth-feel, balance and firm structure highlighted by finely integrated tannins. The finish is long and lingering with a sweet-tart appeal and layers of flavors and firm tannin carrying through from the palate.
