Review:

A lovely nose of blueberries, plum, black cherry aromas combine with hints of roast nuts, spices, and cocoa. A sip reveals flavors of blueberry and black cherry, accented by a bit of pepper, herbs, and a slightly nutty suggestion. A lush, complex wine, with a medium-body, it’s delightful on its own or when paired with lamb.
