Winery Review: Intense red color with violet highlights, with clean, fresh and complex aromas of berries, plums, figs and pepper. Strong personality is in perfect balance with a medium body and pleasant tannins. Ideal for: red meats, cheeses and strong sauces.

My Review: The nose of this wine was one of the most intense noses I have ever smelled.  The palette was also strong with notes of firewood and earth present.  Finally, I noticed a strong peppery finish.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
