Winery Review:  Very dark purple, with a reddish-violet edge, typical of this grape. Black plums, a hint of licorice and subtle spice, not overly complex but appealing. A big mouth full of juicy black fruit is well structured by tart acidity and soft but distinct tannins.

Personal Review:  This wine is a campfire from the start, piercing the nostrils with a smokey smell that came off as too strong. It was also present in the taste, with a slight pepper accent and an after taste of dark cherries. Overall, it was too smokey and tart.
