Wine Critic Review (Provided by Vintage Cellar)Fermented in stainless steel, followed by four months in French oak.  Bright purple.  Cassis, blueberry, pungent herbs and mocha on the nose.  Smooth and open-knit on the palate, displaying fresh cherry and dark berry qualities and a hint of black pepper.  Finishes with gripping tannins and good length, leaving a subtle floral note behind.
My Review: This wine had an alcohol, dark chocolate nose. The tongue had hints of dark chocolate and had a bite at the end. This wine was decent; I didn't dislike it and would drink it again.
With Food: No
