Winery Review: It has a bold, dark crimson color, an inviting, fairly high toned nose of wild sage-like notes against really intense cassis. There's plenty of oak here, and a certain leafy quality adding to that lifted aromatic. On the palate it is a very fine, dry, inky black fruit, but very polished as are the tannins, the acidity feeling quite natural and the 14.5% alcohol again just a touch prominent along with the spicy, smoky oak.
My Review: I did not enjoy this wine. It had a very strong oak and smoke flavor and smell as the winery review pointed out. It was also very bitter and dry probably from the 14.5% alcohol content. There was no fruit flavor and only had plant and wood flavors.
I did not have this wine with food.
