Deep purple in color with a beautiful purple rim.

Strong fruity nose of blackberries, plums, sweet cherry pie, earth and peppercorn.

Full bodied and bold with medium acidity.

Dry and fruity on the palate with sweet plums, spices, chocolates, tobacco, mocha, coke, earth and black pepper.

Short finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.

I had this at a friend's house, and I think it was at a few days old, so it wasn't very appealing. Drinkable, nonetheless and simple.

13% alcohol by volume.

Has a lot of mineral characteristics, very dark color almost plum like. Has a Pinot like flavor qualities, but still rich texture and finishes very dry.

Smooth, better nose than taste. Good value for every day table wine.

I seem to like this more than others. A lot of tannins, but otherwise a. nice soft finish.
