Fruit a plenty and big spice aromas. Cherry and ripe plum flavors with tea and pepper spice with fine tannins. Good balance with acidity, medium finish ending with sweet spice notes. An easy drinking crowd pleaser. Tasting Sample.

This wine hints of raspberry and cherry. Medium acidity, medium tannins, with a short but smooth finish. An Inexpensive easy drinker. Dog gone good wine for the money.
