Wine Review: This slightly opaque and very dark ruby colored red blend opens with a very inviting blueberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, nicely balanced, and fruit forward. The flavor profile is a very tasty mild blackberry and blueberry with notes of nicely integrated oak and black licorice. I also detected hints of black pepper. The finish is dry and its medium tannins subtly drift away. This wine is very food friendly and would pair well with a filet mignon. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Delightful aromas of Black Mission figs, Rainier cherries, tamarind and vanilla make this red wine blend very approachable. Lively flavors of plum, mulberry and cassis greet the palate while notes of anise linger on the finish. This bright and bold red wine has the perfect combination of supple tannins and intensity of flavor making it an easy choice for every day enjoyment.
