Taste: "...multi-layered and vibrant. This wine has aromas of tobacco, baking spice, and cassis. On the palate are flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, ripe plum, and pomegranate....a full structure with plush tannins and a lengthy finish. Color is a deep garnet. Enjoy with a Ribeye steak or smoked pork shoulder." Winemaker
