The wine shows a medium dark ruby color in the glass. The nose sports blackberry, black cherry, earth, spices and coffee grounds. On the palate, the full mouthfeel is abetted by a wonderful freshness and firm tannins. The finish is long. I used a portion of the bottle to bring another dimension to my red beans. The wine added such a layer of complexity to the dish - I don't know how people manage to cook without wine. Even if it never makes it into the food.
