This Maryland wine is a deep, rich purple in the glass. The nose is earthy and brawny, full of black and blue berries. It is somewhat reminiscent, when chilled, of a good Lambrusco. The flavors are as dark as the aromas. Oak is not overly pronounced and the finish leans more toward blackberry than blue.

Deep purple with a hint of red on the edge. Earthy, bold, smooth. Black fruit, tobacco, Cedar, black plum, black pepper. Grippy tannins but velvety. Complex. Love.

Its delicious! My initial first taste wasn't the best. You have to let this breath. But it's absolutely fantasy.

Dark fruit and earth on the nose with just a hint of meatiness. Dry and astringent on the palate. A hint of juicy dark sour cherry is balanced by big acidity a notion of earth. Drying tannins frame the bright finish.
