Winery tasting. Jamesissacbaker's description is spot on, although I was more favorably impressed at the quality of what's coming out of some of the Livermore Valley Wineries. A solid product and true to its varietal character.

Livermore Valley Tasting (My Place - Washington, DC): Light purple color. Red and black plums on the nose, along with lots of sweet spices (cola, chicory, pepper, ginger, anise). Easy-drinking, medium tannins, medium-low acid, the fruit is juicy and velvety, the black cherries and plums go down smoothly. But this wine is all about the spice and non-fruit elements of fire pit, black pepper, loamy soil and black licorice. Juicy and fruity but maintains some vibrancy. Great summer grilling accompaniment. Aged in 33% new American oak.
