Winery Review: "The red ruby color and the dry taste give this wine joviality and cordiality. It is fresh and fruity, with lovely strawberry and cherry aromas and flavors, with nice spice and a silky texture." Vintage Cellar wine notes
My Review: This has to be, by far, the most interesting, robust wine I've tasted thus far. The nose almost smelt like a smokey campfire but the taste is where things get strange. I thought the mid-pallet almost tasted like some kind of burnt rubber? Very though to put a finger (or tongue) on this taste but the accompanying dryness and cherry aftertaste made it an enjoyable new experience. Very diverse, complex wine.
I sampled the wine without food.
