Winemaker's notes (from website): The deceptively subtle aromas of this wine combine red and black cherry, mineral, earthly rhubarb and red fruit, with slightly spicy characters. In the mouth, the palate is wrapped in a velvety mix of sweet red cherry, strawberry, cocca, and juicy red fruit followed by a light toast and smooth chiseled tannins leading to a lengthy, almost breathless finish.
My tasting notes: Good aromas of cherry and plum. On the palate, nice blend of red fruits, cherry and plum predominate. Very nice finish with good integration of tannins, not too bitter. Some spice on the finish as well. Right out of the bottle, burns a bit at 14.8% ABV. Smoother after 2 days post opening. Good alone and with red meat dishes or cheese. A winner--liked this one.
