Review:

Rich aromas of black cherries and boysenberries are accented by wet earth, spice, and cola on the nose. Flavors of cranberries and boysenberries come to life on the palate, along with suggestions of dusty earth, cola, and a bit of pepper. A bright, lively, layered wine that’s great with food, try a bottle if you like Pinot which has some pizazz.
