Ripe, medium-bodied, and stylish, it is more of a lightweight than a heavyweight. Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good medium ruby. Cool aromas of blackberry, blueberry, black cherry, violet, menthol and licorice. Dense, sweet and lush, with a seamless, creamy texture and plenty of early appeal. Nicely balanced at 14.6% alcohol, this blend finishes quite long, with notes of bitter chocolate and licorice. <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/calwine" TITLE="California Wine Wines">California Wine Wines</A> <A HREF="http://www.calwine.com">California Wine</A> California Wine Online Store powered by Nexternal <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart software">shopping cart software</A>
