Full plum and raspberry aromas are not overpowering, but they are big and set the stage for plum, coffee and pepper flavor components. Displays a bit of heat and bitterness late on the finish, but for the most part this wine is varietally correct and tastes not unlike a sun-drenched Cotes-du-Rhone.
