Medium Ruby with aromas of simple berry fruits and pepper spice. On the palate ripe blackberry and cherry flavors with black pepper spice. Medium finish, grippy tannins ending with some forest floor notes. Just ok.

A little tight. Tannins need a bit more rest. But nice none the less

Raspberry, leather, smoke, some vanilla. Needed an hour decant and sipped over three nights. Nice entry level burgundy under $60.
