Ancient legends boast of this varietal to be the ‘Blood of Hercules’ and broods a lion heart attitude in tannin and boldness. With a lingering aroma of molten ash yet the strength in the flavor of succulent blackberries and spicy plums, this wine refuses to be marred as a myth and still lives long.
