Intensely dark purple almost black hue with aromas of blackberry pie, light sweet savory spices, dusty fruit in the bowl.
Palate--Silky texture with balanced acidity and tannins, even keeled fruit from beginning to end with a finish of bold black cherry pie filling.
I paid $15 for this somewhat unremarkable wine even though it is well made and rather elegant. Never-the-less it is subdued from beginning to end never really showing its stuff. It was on sale from $25 and I am glad I did not pay that for it but it is a very nice quaff for the $15 price point.
I am pairing it with a homemade pasta dish of my own creation with herbs from my wife's gardens. It will be superb so raise a glass at $15!
