This is very good and for $30 a nice value. Purple in color. The nose has black cherries, slight mocha, spice and plums. On the palate, this has a wonderful texture. Juicy and plush. Lots of black cherry fruit. The mocha note carries thru. Medium to full bodied. Good acidity. Delicious. Will work with heavier foods (think cassoulet). This has some upscale with future development and should be good for another decade, maybe more.
