Full-bodied, rich wine with soft, full tannins and primary fruit flavors of cherry, dark berry and blueberry. Secondary flavors of chocolate and cassis are complex with hints of toast and creamy oak.

| 2008: 88 Points Beverage Tasting Insitute (Tastings.com): "Rich roasted nut, mocha, and raspberry pie aromas with a supple fruity-yet-dry medium-to-full body and long apple and peppery spice accented finish. A very nice gourmet pizza wine." |
