Deep purple in color; plums, black cherries, and graphite on the nose, moderate minus acidty, medium minus tannins; tastes like blackberry jam, wet gravel, and a hint of black pepper with a long finish. It's an easy drinking, crowd pleasing wine.

Great wine for an art reception. Not exceptional, but everyone seemed to like it and the price was unbeatable.
