WineDiva's Review

Value, approachable, mocha.
Sweet minty cassis, vanilla, chocolate, cedar, tobacco and baking spice aromas lead to an easygoing palate with flavours to mimic the nose along with some meaty/bacon fat and iodine flavours. Vanilla and mocha trail on the finish. A straightforward everyday red at a buy-by-the-case price.

Recommended Pairings
Rich Meats , Barbeque, Cheese - Hard/Aged, Game Day Wines, Bargain Bottles
