Boysenberry and blackberry, heavy spice, black pepper. Oak is there. Medium to heavy tannins. Would be wonderful with bbq, especially ribs.

From the fruit hailing from Lodi Ca, this wine has dark juicy mid-ripe plums, smooth silky tannins, vanilla overtones, freshly ground pepper and a meatyness that is reminiscent of a medium-rare grilled ribeye.

2013 is interesting. Seemed restrained on the nose considering the producer... but a candy-ass palate. Would be great with some sticky BBQ

Rich deep color. Very berry, but not at all overwhelming. Clean, quick finish, nice wine. 2013 on 11/18/2017
