Winery Review: Don’t let the pale garnet color fool you: this is a substantial wine. Aromas of red fruits and spice complement undertones of cranberries, wild berries, and plums. On the palate, ripe tannins and good body make for an incredibly rich, yet easygoing red wine. Pair this wine with sausage, spicy curry sauces, hot soppressata, and tandoori chicken.
My Review: Personally, I did not enjoy this wine. It had baking spice aromas that were accented by dark berries. On the palate, it was very disappointing. I found it to be very hard and tannic, with hints of tart cranberry. The baking spice aromas changed to cooking spices like pepper. I did not taste this wine with food.
