Deep purple with an inky core. Expressive nose showing youth and a mix of dark fruit. Drying violet's and a hint of mint mingle with warm oak spices such as clove and vanilla. Chewy tannins and smooth acidity.

Medium-bodied, nice tannins, something tart and leathery, you can tell it’s made with port grapes but not sweet (under $10 from TW)
