Welcome to the dark side.  The dark ruby color of this huge wine is backed by the aromas of black plum, black currant, cedar and (yes) black pepper.  The palate stands on firm tannins yielding just enough to reveal sweet ripe dried plum, toasty oak and a touch of earthiness.  Close your eyes and visualize the vines while the flavors linger . . .

The grapes were hand-harvested and fermented with native yeast in stainless steel tanks.
