Dark ruby color. Aromas and flavors of dried blackberries, raspberry and cherry, cedar bark and tomato leaf, and bike tire with a round, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish with notes of blackberry, plum, tomato leaf, and toasted black tea. A savory red blend with a nice balance of fruit; would enjoy with some braised boar in a red sauce.
