Winery review: Fermentation of selected grapes in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Aging in American oak casks for 5 months followed by 3 months in the bottle before being released in the market. Inky ruby. Ripe cherry and plum on the nose. Smooth and fleshy, with deep dark fruit flavors complicated by bitter chocolate and anise. A spicy quality adds lift and focus to the weighty fruit. Offers an appealing mis of power and energy and drinks very well right now.
My review: The wine has a plum smell to it with some spice also. I thought the wine tasted of cherries with a definite spice to it as well. It was pretty good for red wines. I would like to try this wine with food to see how the food would effect the spice of the wine.
I did not try this wine with food.
