Possibly the variety with the greatest number of differences in flavour complexity seen between wines. In cooler regions, it produces wines with red berries, white pepper-like aromas with a medium bodied palate. In contrast, regions with a warmer climate produce wines with blackberry, chocolate, and subtle black-pepper overtones. These full-bodied wines with depth, complexity and intense colour often have a high tannin level; yet still have a rich, velvety texture on the palate.
