Lighter than expected hue like a cranberry jelly showing it's age. Aromas of Mint, a slight touch of green pepper, a good bit of milky chocolate, and a big eucalyptus wave.
Palate --A bit of a bitter first impression but not off putting, with an acidic foundation, sharp tannins, blueberry beam and fleeting flavors.
This was my wine with my prime rib roast for Christmas. Not a great selection but not bad. The paring was adequate, the wine is just lacking as I expected more out of it. It is one of those multi-grape blends which is not easy to do well. I paid under $20 for it and I would pass it up the next time around.
