This attractive and medium-bodied wine smells a bit like ginger cookies. It tastes nicely dry, fruity and well structured with tannins and acidity. Nutmeg and ginger notes add extra interest to black cherry and pomegranate flavors.

Tastes overripe, showing raisin and prune flavors and lots of oak, with awkward tannins. On the plus side, it's dry, and the alcohol is a refreshing 13.6% by volume, giving it an elegant mouthfeel.
