Deep purple color with aromas of ripe dark fruits, floral and herb pepper spice. On the palate flavors of ripe cherry and blackberry with notes of black pepper, oak, licorice and vanilla. Fine tannins, medium finish ending with ripe fruit and spice. Pair with a grilled flat iron steak with fingerling potatoes.
