  Pale purple colour. Aromas of tobacco and prunes. Good fruit, with red cherries and cranberry, some spicy notes and a smooth finish.

  1/2/2017 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 88 Points

  I am pretty sure that my brother-in-law, who works (worked?) for the producer of this wine, sent it to me a while ago. I have long been a fan of the brand (at least its original iteration), and I was excited when they brought back the original winemaker. Black raspberry and menthol, with a quick twist of the pepper mill, this wine is solid from the jump. It will not put hair on your chest (or remove it—whatever your predilection), but it will serve a purpose. Ours tonight was spaghetti and meatballs and this performed admirably. Very good. thedrunkencyclist.com
