Dusty garnet color. Aromas of black plum and cassis, peppered jerky, and vanilla and savory baking spices with a round, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, stimulating, medium-length blackberry, black cherry and cassis with plum, and vanilla and baking spices finish with well-integrated tannins and a suggestion of oak flavor. A tasty blend with pronounced black fruit flavors and a food friendly savory component.
