Winery Review: This is an extremely rich, full-bodied wine with a dark fruit core. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis and dark cherry are followed by more berry fruits and chocolate and mocha on the palate

My Review: The color of the wine is a dark cranberry. On the nose there is a strong aroma of tomato sauce and green bell pepper. The palate is fruit forward, has a full body through the mid-palate, and the finish is semi-dry.
