Another gorgeous wine from Becklyn Cellars. Inky purple, opaque and bright. The nose is big with cassis, slight coffee bean, cigar, and slight graphite. Full bodied. Firm tannins. Great, plush texture. On the palate, this is concentrated, deep and delicious. Flavors of cassis, some blueberries, spice and char. Good balance. Long finish. This is still young and will get better. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years. Great on its own, this will work with bigger dishes (not sea food). It would be nice with Roasted and Stuffed Bell Peppers.
