This deep ruby wine smells like a blackberry fire, all dark fruit, spice and smoke. There's a cinnamon aroma that should prove irresistible over the holidays. The flavors made me sit down the glass and say, “my god, that tastes good.” That doesn't happen often enough. Black cherry, sage, eucalyptus, cola, coffee grounds - its complex and savory. Oak is very present, but not a pest. The tannic structure doesn't go unnoticed, but stays pleasant enough for sipping. Pair it with pulled pork or a ham sandwich.
