Dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of dried herbs, black licorice, camphor and a bit of plum. Flavors of berries, boysenberry and raspberry. Medium acidity, medium tannin, medium to full bodied. Drink over the next 3-4 years.

This is an excellent value. Chocolate, black cherry and spicy coffee. Maybe a little too much tannin but still very pleasant in the mouth. Nothing but beef for this wine, maybe a grilled flank steak. Yum

At around $9, this wine represents good value. Dark color, rather spicy nose with some bell pepper and grassy smells that diminished over time. Medium bodied, pleasant mouthfeel, not overly fruity. A little blackberry on the finish. Not overly complex, but nicely balanced and plenty of life left in it. Will easily last another two years. Good varietal character. Would buy again.

Definitely bold and spicy but easy to drink solo without meal
