"Ruby in color a nice red blend that’s fruity with a hint of spice with a nice finish. One of my favorites from Cooper’s Hawk."

I found this wine to be very nice to begin the flight of reds that would finish off our tasting. This was our fifth tasting in a row, and I was beginning to feel the all-too-familiar affects of a couple of glasses of wine, which definitely eased me into the more bolder flavors of the wine. I loved the notes of cherry and raspberry, which paired very nicely with the oak, tobacco, and vanilla notes as well. There was a hot, peppery finish to it that I really liked. I would definitely drink this wine again, and I'd rate it a 3.8/5.
