Pours garnet in color. Fresh cracked black pepper in your face followed by ripe fruit cinnamon and clove. The pepper moves to the background in flavors and dark berry followed by a hint of toast. This is a big wine. It is hot with a medium body and a very long finish. Heat mellows after decanting.

Dark blueberry bouquet and flavors which open up and mellow with 30-60 mins of air exposure. Clean finish. Very drinkable and enjoyable with or without food.
