Review:
Aromatics of blackberries, blueberries, and currants meld with hints of vanilla, sweet spice, and smoky wood on the nose. Flavors of black currant, blueberry, and boysenberry unfold into notes of earth, pepper, and all-spice on the palate. A smooth red blend that's less fruit-driven than most, try a bottle if you prefer French-style wines over American . 3,500 cases were made.
