I think Peggy Hadley might like this wine and rate it 9.0. Fun and smooth and my dad likes it so I like it too.

Plum, black licorice, black berry, pepper notes on the palate with hints of tobacco. Natural acidity. Better than i was anticipating!

Young and fruity claret with ripe plums and nice notes of cinnamon. A little soft.

Dried blackberries, vanilla and dried violet, anise. Nice mid bodied, alcohol a little high, but gonna be bang on with my bacon cheeseburger. Digging Red Mountain AVA.
