Dark ruby in color with a wide purplish rim.
Fruity nose with oak, vanilla, blueberries, tart cherries, plums, licorice, cloves, dirt, earth, and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with high acidity.
Dry and earthy on the palate with blueberries, plums, sour cherries, strawberries, pomegranate, vegetables, cloves, oak, light vanilla, licorice, mild spices and peppercorn.
Tangy, short finish with very soft yet biting tannins and spices.
A bit less than an average Cabernet. Felt more like an Australian Shiraz to me, though. Simple, unbalanced and unattractive, I also didn't like a spice that I couldn't put my finger on. Didn't really hold its own by itself, but still drinkable. Not a rebuy for me.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

Dark ruby in color with a light purplish rim.
On the Nose, blackberries, blueberries, plums, cherries, vanilla, oak, licorice and black pepper.
Medium bodied with high acidity.
Tart on the palate and fruity with blackberries, plums, cherries, strawberries, red currants, vanilla, wood, cloves and black pepper.
Short finish with soft tannins and tart cherries.
Drinkable but not something I would buy again. Unbalanced and simple.
Actually gets worse as it opens up. So drink within 15 minutes of opening. Cool label, though.

Not the Shiraz, have the cab sav but can't find it on here. It's more on the dry side and not crazy flavorful. Better with TJ's Toscana black pepper cheese.
