  Aroma of plums with veggie overtones. Palate is boysenberries and those New World merlot green peppers, with a lingering, pleasant finish. ABV is a commendable 12%, and it shows. Halfway between California and Bordeaux, bpth geographically and stylistically. I would like more backbone, and a bit less oak. The vegetal components don't bother me, but they might bother some. Overall a good, if slightly clumsy, wine which I liked, but would have liked much more at $15 rather than $20.
