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.
Personal Review: The color of this wine was orange-brown. It smelled of sweet potatoes, cherries, blackberries, black pepper, cranberries, and plums. The wine was very tannic and hot. It tasted like plums, blackberries, and cranberries. To me, the wine tasted unbalanced. I did not have this wine with any food. and I did not like it. However, I thought its bouquet was very complex and interesting
