Winery Review:Black ruby color. Mild, spicy, earthy aromas of spiced berries and plum with a supple, bright, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a tingling, brisk earth and cinnamon finish with dusty, coating tannins and moderate oak. A sturdy, earthy red for the table. 

My personal review: It smelled spicy with a little bit of an earthiness to it. It tasted earthy but not mineral, with some spicy kick to it. It hit the side of the tongue and the back of the throat. It was a strong feeling in my mouth and after it left it a bit dry.
