This was the winning wine at a friend's birthday party. Huge nose of smoky and peppery fruit, but definitely felt some alcoholic heat in the mix. Tasted surprisingly smooth and balanced, with plum, dark cherry, blackberry, tomato and pepper in the mix.

Hearty flavor and heavier body. Great wine with our wood fired pizza.

Nice nose. Bright with cherries and plums. Peppery taste with lots of fruit, but dry. Very drinkable, but I think will mellow in the years ahead.
