Brick red color. Interesting aromas and flavors of roasted and caramelized coconut, anise and black pepper, dried cherries, and warm meringue with a silky, bright, fruity medium-to-full body and a peppery, intriguing, medium-long finish with suggestions of spiced berry compote, goji berries, and hoisin and plums with chewy tannins and moderate oak flavor. A savory, juicy, and complex red blend that would go with anything grilled.
