Garnet color. Aromas and flavors of cherry and blackberry cough syrup, plum, black olive, and pepper with a round, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a hot, refreshing, medium-length finish that exhibits touches of blackberry and black currant and violet infused liqueur with crunchy, medium tannins and light oak flavor. Good fruit flavors with a nice peppery balance but the elevated alcohol means that you should eat your BBQ before and with this wine.
