Winery review: "Enormously rich, ripe and concentrated showing layers of blackberry, currant and mocha. We enjoy it with grilled meats, steak, stew, leg of lamb, tuna, and swordfish as well as anything that has a rich red sauce."

My review: A delicious red! The legs and brownish red color are beauties! The nose is full of mocha tones, herbal notes, and darkfruit. The taste had that merlot flavor with nice spice, dark fruit, and a bomb tannic component.
