Winery Direct Review: A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Tempranillo this wine is deep ruby/purple color. With a smoky black cherry, peppery scented nose and a wonderful texture, of creamy, ripe, chewy fruit. It has a spicy long finish. An excellent wine for red meats and pasta dishes.

My Review:  The aroma of this wine is of black pepper and tobacco.  The color is a deep crimson red.   This is a very spicy medium bodied red wine with a smooth finish.  The acidity is balanced wonderfully with the tannins.  The black pepper and dark berry taste left my mouth craving for more.  I had enjoyed a piece of chewy Italian bread with this wine and it gave the bread smoky taste.  I would highly recommend this wine with a red sauce or skirt steak with chimichurri sauce.  The black pepper taste was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend this wine. It had a lot of personality and was priced modestly!
