Deep in color with a big, rich and smooth attack, this wine is sure to please many American palates. The nose is toasty with smoky, firewood aromas. The palate explodes with generous ripe fruit flavors: black plum, prune and fig. With its intensely juicy palate impression, moderate acidity, full body and medium alcohol, this wine makes a big splash on the palate. Good for early drinking and casual dining.
