Winery review: Bright purple. High-pitched red berry and floral
scents display good clarity and a hint of cracked pepper. Shows a touch of
jamminess to its pliant black raspberry and cherry compote flavors, with a
spicy quality adding vibrancy. Finishes with good focus and no obvious tannins,
leaving a sweet berry note behind.
My review: This wine had a caramel candy and fruit smell (I'm still having trouble differentiating the fruits I smell in wines.) Upon tasting this wine was VERY dry, which I did not particularly enjoy. I continued to taste the caramelized candy and fruitiness.
This wine was not enjoyed with food.
