Winery Review: This ruby-colored wine has aromas of raspberry, cherry and a hint of vanilla. Flavors of cherry and plum lead to a soft velvety finish. This wine can be enjoyed by itself. It is also an excellent accompaniment with appetizers and main courses. This wine goes well with Brie, goat cheese and smoked salmon, lamb shanks and pork tenderloin.
My Review: A nice and easy red with plenty of soft dark fruit to think about. A light yet full red color with darker fruits than you would expect from the color. I smelt blackberry while others around me said plum (I have not had a plum recently to compare smell/taste). The taste was that of dark berry area in general and was not lacking for jammy character. Balanced low in general with some tannins initially that come back near the finish. After the initial tannins, a slight sweet-sour taste comes along that lingers for about 30 seconds. Overall an excellent experience and would buy, again, if I had the money to spare. In fact I really enjoyed every one of these 5 wines posted today.
Tasted without food.
