Review:

Aromas of blackberries, cherries, and blueberries are rounded out by suggestions of leather, pepper, vanilla, and anise on the nose. A sip reveals flavors of blackberry and cherry that are accented by spice, vanilla, oak, and anise. A wine with a nice balance of flavors, it’s a fine value.
