Made with organic grapes.  Purple/ruby in color, mostly  opaque and bright.  The nose is nice with cassis, dust and char.  Nice texture.  Medium to full bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, cassis, slight black olive with a bit of char.  Good balance.  Slight bitter cherry note on the finish.  The drinks nicely and easily on its own and will work well with foods (not seafood) off the grill.  Drink over the next five to eight years.  Another excellent value.
