Review:

Aromas of bacon, pepper, earth, coffee, and dried cherry can be discovered on the nose. A sip offers flavors of black cherry and blackberry complicated by notes of pepper, minerals, and coffee. A wine with robust flavors, it still feels quite balanced. It’s a bottle to be enjoyed with food or, if you’re a fan of heartier wines, on its own.
