Winery review: Garnet color. Aromas of black cherry, plum jam, rich dark soil, and violet honey with a lightly tannic, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, complex, medium-long black cherry, rich garden soil, crushed plum, and cinnamon toast finish with medium tannins and moderate oak. Dense, dark and chewy with earthy complexity, balancing the luscious jammy fruit qualities of new world with earthy qualities of old world wines. 87 - Beverage Tasting Institute
My review: Generic berry and smoke characterized the smell. Tart cherry and a jam of other fruits were evident. The tannins were strong and sucked your mouth dry. This wine was okay but the short lived tastes of fruit followed by overwhelming tannins I found to be unpleasant.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
