The dark cherry, plum, and spicy berry fruit courses across the palate, while the texture is almost Pinot Noir-like in its elegance and velvety feel. In this sense... Read More

Peppery tobacco silk.Dark fruits. Great acidity with a hint of slim jim on the finish. Not much of a QPR but that is ok. Would be perfect if it was half the price.Paired great with beef kielbasa-type sausage. Read More
