It was wonderfully smooth and worked very well with a pork butt dinner even though not a normal pairing. No bite and wonderful flavor balance. A definite repeat purchase. — a month ago

Quickly becoming my favorite! Bold and flavorful with a peppery finish, great with steak. I may be biased as a bourbon aficionado, but the whiskey barrel aging definitely adds something special. Top notch! — a year ago

Deep purple in color; black plum, black cherries, and black pepper on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like blackberry jam, plum sauce, and a hint of eucalyptus with a long peppery finish. Nellie likes it with Popeyes Spicy Fried Chicken. I was surprised it paired so well with spicy chicken. Be forewarned that it made the chicken even more spicy, but the flavors went really well together. I love this wine. — 7 months ago
