I was blown away by the dark, jammy richness of this wine—the dried plum and blackberry notes are incredibly concentrated. It's full-bodied and smooth, with enough structure to stand up to a hearty steak dinner.

The tannins are firm but not harsh, which makes it dangerously easy to keep pouring another glass. The extra-ripe black raisin and jammy fruit comes through strong, and it holds up great with a hearty steak dinner.

The dried plum and blackberry jam notes came through exactly as described, and the firm tannins gave it a nice structure that held up against a hearty pasta dinner. I've bought three bottles since my first taste, and the extra-ripe richness makes it dangerously easy to finish the bottle.
