Spicy good. Velvety and aggressive. Loved this one because it packs a gentle, fragrant punch.

Had it with a penne in a gouda sauce; wasn't overpowering.

Really dark purple rim. Slight red fruit notes but not over powering. Strong spicy finish that is also slightly chocolaty. Not my favorite but still a good bottle of wine.
