Top Notes For
Randy Fuller

This wine is medium-dark with a ruby hue. The nose is subtle, but shows off blackberry and raspberry aromas along with notes of black olive, cigars and spices. The palate is nice and fruity with a minty essence to go with the oak effect. Acidity is fresh, even youthful, and the tannins are medium firm. I liked it with my rib eye steak, but it also sat well with crackers and cheddar/pimento cheese.
