Garnet in color with a nose of damp foliage and savory spice. The palate is softly textured with candied cherry, underbrush, and brown sugar. Slight heat on the finish.

3 times as good as the standard ampelos for only ten dollars more. A great value in a category where there is too few options. It's subtle and spicey with good raspberry fruit and agressive acid in the finish.

Very light. I've had more robust flavorful pivots. Overall, not impressed.
