Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe dark berry fruits and spice. On the palate jammy ripe blackberry and blueberry fruit with rustic spice and a bit of sweetness. Medium tannins, medium finish ending with a spice pepper tang. An ok simple wine. Drink now!

Complex flavor with a medium body. Smell of cranberry and plum. Taste of black current, licorice, tobacco and mulling spices.

I’m willing to give this one another try. It’s dry with little sweetness. Came home from a long day at work and an earlier earthquake. My two beautiful nieces came by and brightened my day.
