If I ever wonder what it would be like to drink Beef Jerky, then I will try this wine again. Good lord was the pepper completely overpowering, some meaty qualities which just further reinforced the beef jerky impression. pepper, smoke, teriyaki, game.
Compare to the Rostaing Cote Blonde which also had smoky, pepper, earthy qualities but kept them in balance.

Dark purple color, young bright fruit. Rich flavor, tastes like a $17 syrah. Easy drinking, not bad.
