Wonderful red blend with a nose of plum, cherry, and peppercorn. Cherry, cedar, and plum dominate the mid-palette and it finishes with a distinctive earthiness. The earthiness fades over the course of the bottle leaving deeply satisfying ripe fruit behind. Fine tannins and a lengthy finish make this a very pleasurable wine to enjoy with red meats. Would buy again.
