Dark but clear red purple. Fruity nose and palate of black cranberry and dried fig. Firm tannins and bright acidity (medium plus, both) fight for dominance taking attention away from what should be voluptuous fruit preventing ‘‘tis from even approaching the “sipper” label. Food tames them both however, and it plays the accompaniment role well. So now we know its place.
