WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

Aroma of dried blackberry and flavors of peppercorn, black cherry and raspberry. Firm, dry and persistent on the palate.

TASTING NOTES:

So peppery, savory, smoky and meaty in aroma, showing the wild side of the grape variety. Sour cherries, black pepper, singed herbs, wood char, graphite and iron flavors. Medium-bodied, racy with acidity and nicely chewy in tannins.
