Okay, this wine is not a beast, but it is a gazelle as if you give it enough time, it jumps all up in you.  You do get green pepper combined with raspberries and while it's not as full-bodied as I like, it is a nice thing to behold.  It is almost the beast it could be, but the alcohol is less than 15%.  Not bad, and could go well with swordfish or venison.

Our Mission: The Black Winer strives to expose African Americans [and others] to wines, without the flair, stuffiness, and airs of elitism and snobbery that you get from sommeliers and high level wine enthusiasts. We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your family have historically been drinking.
