Wine Review: This wine got Very Good support from everyone that I had try it. It opens with a pleasant blueberry like bouquet with hints of spice. On the palate, this wine is balanced, juicy, and has dusty cherry like flavors. The finish is dry and lingers slightly. This easy to drink wine is quite food friendly and would pair well with many foods. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The wine is a deep purple/red in hue while the nose shows a heady mix of raspberry, blackberry, and red & black cherry, complemented by a hint of white pepper & vanillin oak character. The medium-bodied palate is smooth with a velvety texture, juicy berry fruit with a healthy dash of spice, red liquorice & biscuity oak character.
