Review:
Plums, cherries, and raspberries mingle with spice, cocoa, and game Aromas of currants, blackberries, and plums mingle with floral and peppery suggestions on the nose. A sip delivers flavors of bramble fruit, black currant, and stewed plum that unfold into allusions of earth, roses, and spice. Plush tannins and a earthy undertones endear this wine to your turkey and mashed potatoes.
