This is a very easy-drinking and delicious wine, with lots of fruit and a nice balance of medium tannins and acidity. Very dark, almost inky color in the glass. Black cherry and plum on the nose, with the same on the palate plus some cedar and green pepper overtones. Great with grilled meat, or by itself.
