productive as grown here ina vineyard of mixed varieties, although 
its blossoms are unable to fertilize themselves. Bunch, large rather 
long, shouldered and moderately compact; berry large, black; 
pulp sweet, tender and of good flavor when first tasted but

at the same time because it can not set fruit of itself.
