soft undertones of tobacco and smokiness (hance the name) but very smooth for the price. A good smokey wine for those who prefer sweeter, fruitier wines.

A sweet/fruity aroma. I read that it had blueberry overtones, I agree, but without the help I would have called it cherry or simply fruity. For a cheaper syrah, I would actually call it complex. A pretty good value for a syrah.
