Tasting Notes:  This rich, dark wine delights the nose with black licorice, baking spices and warmed brown sugar.  It provides a full mouth of flavor from front to back.  It features a mid-palate bit of peppery spice and a long lingering finish.  Rich with black berry notes, it is aged to be perfectly balanced.  Not too fruity, but thick and memorable.

Food Pairings:  This well-behaved wine is a good partner with your favorite grilled cut of beef or can handle a creamy cheese dish such as deep-dish pizza or other protein rich pasta dishes.
