Price - $12.99 Size - 750 mL- Wines for Barbeque Wine Tasting held on Saturday May 21, 2005 at the Powers Liquor Mart in Colorado Springs with Will Gillum.

This unfiltered (many winemakers believe that filtering removes some of the essential body and flavors of a wine) is inky dark with heavy legs. Has a spicy nose with hints of rubbing alcohol. Full dark fruit flavors and hints of earth. Very full body on this one, nearly overpowering complexity. For more informatioin visit Glen Fiona Walla Walla Valley website. Grade: B
