Winery Review: This rich, supple wine bursts with blackberry and dark cherries with hints of spice followed by lush, rounded tannins and a lingering finish.
My Review: After seeing the varietal makeup on the bottle I was really excited to try this wine. The nose was of red fruit mainly raspberry and red currant. Some vanilla and oak came through as well. Quite fruit forward. The first thing I noticed on the palate was how smooth and silky it was. Berries such as raspberry and cherry were most predominant. It was even a bit tart. It had nice supple tannins and a long finish. This was a very good wine.
