Great acid, velvety tannins, a little dried cranberry and herb. Good for steak!

Simple but delicious, showing a little maturity but the fruit is ripe and the tannins ripe and velvety smooth.

Andy liked it better than I did! It was spicy. We had it with a roast beef and lentil soup at the house. For $23, it was really nice!
