Winery Review: Currant and strawberry play on the lighter part of the nose as hints of spiced dark chocolate lurk in the depths of the bouquet. Jammy, dark fruit stimulate a picture of the sense of place in this wine. Brooding flavors of cedar, black tea and licorice give way to celebratory currants and red velvet cake. Balanced tannins and cherry lead through moods of tobacco, cassis and boysenberries. Finishes long with a memory of the earth that this fine fruit was grown in.



My Review: Quite a nice red wine. It had a fruity and jammy smell with a hint of cherry and spice. These aromas carried over to the taste as well with a solid tannin texture. It had a long and spicy finish.

I did not have this wine with food.
