Inky purple. Cassis, blackberry notes in nose. Moderate amount of fine-grain seed tannins, moderately bitter initially, raspberry jam and eucalyptus flavors with length, and later, plum. Tart tannic aftertaste, grows soapier in mouthfeel over time. Decent everyday red, sensibly priced

Nicely aromatic on the nose and full bodied on the pallate with prodiment flavors of blueberry jam along with black tea and hints of cocoa from the 14 months spent in American oak. Med-high tannins helped this pair extraordinary well with sage brown butter strip steaks and roasted garlic potatoes. Finally, worth noting that this wine was as good (if not better) on day two! ($9) [9/22/17]

Smooth and sophisticated, a versatile food or cocktail wine with dark currants and medium tannins.
