  Dark red color with a light core to this wine. Lot's of green pepper with this nose, though also full of fruit and a clover honey component that seems to float over the whole wine like a cloud on a mountain top. Definately some vanilla touches, and some good red fruit too help to round out the nose. In the mouth this is a weedy wine with plenty of green too it, and a nice helping of raspberry too. Fine medium weight tannins, and a medium to light acidity round out this medium bodied wine. 13% is just right for this wine, and I would highly recommend it for roasted/braised meats, where you have a sprig or two or rosemary involved. 4/5

  Intense and opaque dark burgundy in color with a slight cranberry rim. On the nose, the wine is bold and aromatic showing green pepper, black earth, bitter chocolate, sour cherry and dark floral notes. Nice firm, fine tannins immediately grip my tongue, followed by a bright acidity that immediately lifts it right off and down the sides. Light in body and refreshing, leaving elegant flavors of black cherry, black pepper and dark chocolate on the finish. Great spring wine for the grill! 4/5
