Wine Review: This opaque and pitch black red blend opens with a mild blackberry and currant bouquet. On the palate, this wine is a fruit bomb. The flavor profile is a tasty mild plum and gentle oak blend with hints of blackberry. The finish is dry and it's dusty tannins linger slightly along with its fruits. This wine would be perfect with a juicy Angus bacon burger. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Color: Dark cherry Aroma: Dark fruit and dried prunes with notes of clove and allspice. Taste: Opens with juicy ripe fruit, hints of oak and spice; medium bodied with elegant tannins and a long finish.
