Hedonistic, spicy #lakecounty red blend. Flashy blackberry preserves, baking spices, subtle vanilla on the nose. Delicious acidity on the palate balances a big blue/black fruit wave. Finish with medium plus tannins ends with quite pronounced peppery notes. Tasty wine.

Deep ruby in color; blackberries, black cherries, and tabacco smoke on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like cassis, black plums, and graphite with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok, Christy, Rey, Jen, Brian, and I like it.

Absolutely needs to be aerated - undrinkable and bitter if you don’t. Can’t imagine why you need to aerate a $20 bottle of wine, but... Better as you drink it, but not right out of the bottle.
