Wild game, leather, green pepper, a hint of red fruit on the end. Dry but just enough body to support everything going on. Tangy finish. A lot of wine for the $$

Like green bell peppers and red fruit inside a worn, leather bag. Smooth, savory, with a nice bright and spicy finish. A lot of finesse for the price point. And great the next day too!
