Aromas boast spicy green herbs, charcoal pit, black pepper, sliced bell pepper, along with smoky currants, blackberries and plums. Nicely balanced with fresh acidity and velvety tannins, mixed with tart black cherries and currants. Flavors of coffee grounds, charcoal, grilled herbs and tobacco. Impressive complexity for a wine at this price point.

Spicy herbal nose with black olive and chewing tobacco on top of black cherries and red and black currants. Plush texture on the palate, medium acidity keeps it fresh, this is a plummy, black cherry jam-focused wine with complex elements of tobacco, roasted red pepper, black tea and grilled herbs. A reliably well-made wine.

Nose shows bold black cherries and dark currant fruit, with a mix of black pepper, campfire smoke, green herbs and roasted red pepper. Dusty tannins and fresh acidity frame the wine nicely, with smoky currants and juicy black cherries provide plenty to munch on. Notes of tobacco, scorched earth, spicy black pepper and green herbs add complexity. Delish.
