Brown brick red color. Aromas and flavors of strawberry licorice, black licorice, and bell pepper and plum with a satiny, vibrant, dry medium body and a warming, charming, medium-length finish that presents elements of plum, cracked black pepper, blackberry, and vanilla cream and baking spices with medium, well-integrated tannins and light oak flavor. A lovely wine for food pairings that is both savory and herbal with nice interplay of red and black fruits with the barrel characteristics.
