Great Value from a 6 region blend, deep Ruby with aromas of dark red fruits, spice, dried herbal and floral notes. On the palate flavors of blueberry and blackberry with licorice, pepper, floral and oak. Fine soft tannins, lively acidity, medium(+) finish ending with fruit, subtle oak and savory spice. Nice!!
