Winery review: Dark, ruby-red color with violet highlights. Intense and fragrant bouquet with a rich array of red and black fruit aromas and flavors. Harmonious and velvety on the palate. Great balance and structure. Excellent with grilled or roasted meats, game and cheeses.
My review: This wine had a dark red hue and a spicy nose with hints of dark berry. Big smoke and tannins hit my palate as I tasted, but I enjoyed them along with the slight blackberry and cherry flavors encountered. This wine did seem to dry my mouth out though and definitively needs food to be paired with it.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
