Tom Wine Everything starts out with promising impressive saturated dark ruby colors. Although modest, the bouquet is loaded with interest, offering up intriguing aromas of dark ripe berries wrapped in nuances of smoky hickory, a spice box mixture of cardamom, clove and cinnamon, along with coffee and cola, all of which are unveiled progressively.
Sweet oak joins in on the palate, wrapped in velvety tannins.
Tom Wine A fruit bomb this one is. Loads of plump, ripe, jammy fruit flavors of raspberries and plums regale the palate while a medium body delivers nice weight to the palate. A satisfying lingering finish follows while the tannins remain a non issue. Made from a blend of Rhone varietals, you get a lot of wine for the bucks from this premium Napa Valley producer. A big Porto for the money, raspberries, cherries and sweet peas comprise a very forward bouquet.
