Peppery spice and smoke aroma. On the palate. dark fruit, tobacco, lighter body. Tasty with burgers. Lost something on day 2. Nice everyday wine - good QPR.

Deep purple color. Spicy, peppery nose with some blackberry and leather. Cherries and dark fruits, good acid, decent balance, and a slightly grapey-tobacco finish. Interesting, and good QPR.

First, I'm way past the drinking window on this. Super thin. Weak.
