Wine Review – Shows a certain rustic simplicity now, with youthfully jammy flavors of blackberries, cherries and currants, sprinkled with cocoa and pepper and wrapped into dusty tannins.

Personal Review – With this wine, I could definitely taste the blackberries and black pepper.  The two flavors combined to make a good wine with a softer mouthfeel.  I did not expect to like this wine and was pleasantly surprised.

Food - I did not try this wine with food.
