This is made from the Saperavi grape in the country of Georgia.  The wine is aged for six months in clay Kvevri (Amphorae) which is a traditional way of making wine in Georgia that goes back 6,000 years.  Deep garnet in color, purple at the core.  The nose is tight at first but opens to show a clean wine with aromas of black raspberries and clay.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  Good acidity.  On the palate, plums, black cherries and slight black olive notes.  Good finish.  This is a nice wine on its own but is better with food.  It would work well with BBQ pulled Beef or other rich meaty dishes.
