My Review: I smelled a black cherry and currant on the nose.
The palette was surprisingly strong. It had an almost vegetable taste with some
peppery spice. The finish was sweeter with the toasted vanilla flavor from the
oaking coming through. This wine has many different flavors that I thought
clashed a bit.
Shop Review: Fermentation
of selected grapes in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Aging in
American oak casks for 5 months followed by 3 months in the bottle before being
released in the market. Inky ruby. Ripe cherry and plum on the nose. Smooth and
fleshy, with deep dark fruit flavors complicated by bitter chocolate and anise.
A spicy quality adds lift and focus to the weighty fruit. Offers an appealing
mix of power and energy and drinks very well right now.
I did not try this wine with food.
