Wine Review: Wild berry, chopped mint, sun baked earth and violet aromas meld together on this solid savory red. The juicy straightforward palate doles out ripe black cherry, crushed raspberry, anise and cinnamon alongside chewy tannins.

Personal Review: This wine had a reddish/purpleish, plummy color. This wine smelled much more citrusy than the one right before it. To me this wine tasted like sour cherry with a bold blackberry after taste. It was more tannic than some of the others. I did not try this wine with food.
