Medium-body, holds it alcohol so incredibly well-black pepper zip with fresh darker fruits. Amazing went with so many of our dishes.

Strong wine, would have to pair with equal oomph. DW: "Concentrated and powerful, with a remarkable purity of fruit and a joyfully peppery finish. This wine is so well balanced and the alcohol is so well integrated, you won't know it's 15% until you polish off the bottle and stand up! $25"
