Exhibiting a medium-to-dark ruby color and deep aromas of cassis, rosemary, freshly cracked black pepper, and stones, this wine is medium-to-full-bodied, silky-textured, and offers intense flavors of cracked pepper, juniper berries, blood oranges, and blackberries. It possesses a strong backbone of copious but ripe tannins that will require some cellaring to melt away. Projected maturity: 2003-2008.
