Plum and dark berry aromas are offset by typical American oak aromas of pickle and dill. But the wine is generally ripe and whole, with blackberry flavors balanced by chocolate and black pepper on the finish. Medium to full in weight, with no noticeable holes in the fabric. At 83,000 cases, this is a really good wine given the quantity. Imported by Dana Importers, Inc.——M.S.(6/1/2007)—— 87
