"Aromas of grilled meat and ripe blackberry make for a dynamo start that continues with flavors of espresso and earthy cedar. Joined by grainy, drying tannins, layers of dark chocolate, black plum, and licorice are noteworthy."

Ruby black color. Aromas and flavors of black tea with strawberries, French mocha, blackberry and black cassis, and black cherry with a velvety, bright, dry medium-to-full body and a warming, interesting, medium-long finish with shades of vanilla and baking spices, blackberry pepper jam, black tea, and chocolate covered strawberry with well-integrated, medium tannins and moderate oak flavor. Ripe and juicy with depth and structure, this wine would work well at any steak house.
