Purple-infused garnet. Strawberry, spice and earth nose. Medium bodied, dried raspberries, black pepper, chocolate cherries, well integrated tannins, tobacco, a bit of heat, and a medium to long finish. Good fruit without being jammy, obviously well made and just delicious.

Maybe a little earth, strawberries, cherries, and just the right amount of spice. Really good flavor and taste.

Iced blueberry on the nose. Great balance on the palate. Dark earth cherry and blue fruit/pomegranate flavors. Not overly spicy but just enough spice.
