Wine Review: This wine took a while for this wine to open up. But when it did, it was very enjoyable. It is slightly opaque and dark purple colored. It opens with a red currant and mild menthol bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and soft. The flavor profile is a fruit forward red raspberry with notes of oak and black licorice. The finish is dry and dusty. Pair this wine with veal marsala. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Juicy fruits, bing cherries and ripe blackberries followed up by notes of toasted vanilla, cinnamon spice and clove. Consistent flavor, well-integrated fruit and delicate tannins. Mouth-filling and seductive with no hard edges - a Rhône blend with a bit of sass!
