Dark red with black fruit aromas and spicy notes. On the palate simple fruit flavors of cherry and blackberry with pepper spice and notes of cacao. Fine tannins, medium finish, lively acidity. Tasting Sample.

Northeast region, very sweet and fruity with a hint of spice, fairly full bodied, some tannence, deep dark red, pair it with something with a sharp taste Dinner with Tim - Buffalo, NY - Mushroom Lasagna, Chipotle Cranberry Cheddar Cheese and Stone Ground Crackers

Nice fruit. Not too dry. Thoroughly enjoyed sitting around drinking this on a cool summer evening. Got the bottle on sale which made it even better.

Really like this. A dry wine that's not overly dry. My grandma thought it was too dry, but take that as you will.
