Winery Review: Currant and strawberry play on the lighter part of the nose as hints of spiced dark chocolate lurk in the depths of the bouquet. Jammy, dark fruit that stimulate a picture of the sense of place in this wine. Brooding flavors of cedar, black tea and licorice give way to celebratory currants and red velvet cake. Balanced tannins and cherry lead through moods of tobacco, cassis and boysenberries. Finishes long with a memory of the earth that this fine fruit was grown in.
My Review: This wine was immediately different from the other red wines. It had a much more fruity and jammy smell. After tasting, the fruit and jam definitely came through with a solid tannin texture. Overall, it was a better red wine than the others.
I did not have this wine with food.
