Randy Fuller

This is an extremely dark wine, one which allows no light to pass through it. It is a complex wine, with a nose that delivers a powerful blast of red fruit along with a dense layer of spices, tobacco and a floral perfume. The palate has cherry, cassis, licorice, cinnamon, and earthy notes all vying for attention. The tannins are mellowing, but they are still capable enough to handle your favorite steak right off the grill. The acidity is refreshing and the finish is long and luxurious.

Dark ruby color and black cherry notes. Well integrated with smooth tannins and a long finish. Very nice.

This is a delicious Temp that is complex and sophisticated. Plus it has a cool, unique label.
