Mild and smooth. Hint of berry with slightly smokey after taste. Would buy again!

Med body, Berry aromas, dry, berry flavored, like minerality that morphs into a light acid, moderate tannins w/ nice peppery finish. (Corn chowder, BBQ ribs, wilted green - on the front porch 😊)

Nicely weighted Shiraz-based blend went lovely with lamb chops. Good tannins, moderate complexity and dark, dried fruit notes. Macy's $17.

Needs chocolate - definitely a bit gritty and a little bitter almost.
