Nose

ripe cherry, cassis and blackberry
fruit aromas.

Palate

Firm tannins and sweet oak combine with a gentle hint of pepper
and spice to yield a full-bodied wine that is rich and luscious on the palate,
with flavors of blackberry, dried herbs, and minerals.

Appearance

deep ruby in color

Food Pairing

A long, lingering finish
allows the wine to stand up to grilled meats, such as barbeque baby back pork
ribs and spice-rubbed iron steak.
