I think most of the prior reviewers of this wine may have had it little young. This wine is in early maturity and a very good dinner wine for a grilled NY strip steak. I paired it with a sweet corn (peaking in MI right now) salsa and the steak and it was very good. Second night paired with a mildly spiced chicken tortilla soup and it was surprisingly good along with the corn salsa. Plums and dark red fruit, nice oaky vanilla notes and smooth tannins make this a good dinner wine especially with grilled meat.

The color is purple to dark garnet and almost completely opaque. The aromas are currant, loam, dark chocolate, and minty hints. The tastes are dark chocolate, currant, bell pepper, espresso, cherry, butter, cola, cedar notes, and subtle spices. The tannins are dusty and fine with a medium finish and some nice body.
