A healthy deep red core with brighter red edges. A muted nose seems reticent, but subtle hints of plum, leather and spice appear. The palate is another story entirely. Black plum, mint, blackberry, and black tea flavors are balanced and evenly meld with a tannic stronghold. The tannins are a little dry on the finish but the rest is clean and balanced. Solid value at $15.
