This is a great time to open this! It's really come a long way in the past 2 years- standing up to its big Cab brother now. Perfect pairing with pork and BBQ dishes.

Deep garnet color. Aromas of Blackberries, white pepper, raspberry and violets. This wine packs a punch of black and red fruit, peppery perfume finish.

Garnet color, blueberry, spice and leather aromas. Light to mid bodied on the palate with very light dried blackberry and spice. A little alcohol on the finish, otherwise lingering mellow earthy finish.
