This is a wine that hits you in the finish with the power of it's alcohol but lures you in at first with it's big, plump and juicy character of dark fruits (currant and raspberry).  There is a light amount of spice in the back and maybe even some muted vanilla.  Deep in color and middle of the road in the mouth, this wine would be better with game meats rather than desserts.  It's highly approachable by anyone as it's not overly complex.

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.
