The flavor intensity in this wine is pretty incredible! Concentrated and complex with notes of black plums, blackberries, red plums, ripe blueberries, dark chocolate, and baking spices. The bright acidity and dusty round tannins make this a classic example of the varietal.

Super fresh. Bright with violets and red fruit but has a bass note and long finish. Fantastic for the price.
