Black garnet color. Oaky aromas of mocha latte, hazelnut, chocolate-covered berries, and carob with a round, vibrant, off-dry medium-to-full body and a smooth, complex, medium-long raisin bread pudding, cassis jam, tobacco, and rocky road ice cream finish with silky tannins and heavy oak flavor. A decadently oaked Graves.
