Tasted at a wine tasting in Scottsdale. Displays aromas of blackberry, raspberry, blueberry, black cherry, black plums, and black currants, along with hints of toasted vanilla, white pepper, lavender and sage. It has a rich smooth texture, a soft, low-acid low-tannin structure and a full layered and easy drinking finish. Paired with bruschetta chicken and roasted asparagus. Paid $24.95.
