Cola, sarsaparilla and fine rubber give this wine a dark personality that’s infused with brighter raspberry and black cherry. The palate has a thick, chewy, mature feel to it, while the flavors are earthy, rambunctious and savory. Finishes creamy and full, with easing tannins and nice fruity leftovers.
