A deep rich taste of ripe summer cherries. Medium bodied with moderate length for simple pleasure. A great Tuesday night wine.

Interesting expression of this very underrated grape. Dark purple color is totally obvious. Big Aromas of blackberry, blueberry and black licorice. Dark berries and cherry flavors with that touch of licorice. Just a hint of purple flowers. Long finish and chewy tannins. Good balance and acidity.

Little fruit, lots of Smokey meatiness. A little on the thin side.
