Top Notes For
Randy Fuller

This wine is inky dark in the glass. The nose is fairly beautiful, with a large whiff of black fruit like blackberry, blueberry, and currant dominating over the sniff of smoke and the note of graphite. The same sort of fruit is forward on the palate, and the tannic grip is enough, but not too much. It is a satisfying Bordeaux, and it worked well in my beef stew.

Deep slightly translucent garnet color and medium to full bodied. Dark bramble fruit leading to a lightly peppery finish with medium tannins and sour cherry after taste. Uncomplicated and nothing special, but a good value every day drinker.

Thin and light, with a hint of acidity. The lingering aftertaste is a bit bitter like the seeds of blackberries. Not too sweet and not too dry. It's agreeable.
