Black garnet color. Aromas of cocoa dusted dried cherries, mixed peppercorns, chocolate taffy, ivory, and paprika with a satiny, crisp, dryish light-to-medium body and a medium-length cherry stone finish with light oak. A nice, not-too-oaky Bonarda that will be very versatile at the table. Shows minerally and peppery accents to the crushed red fruit flavors.
