Winery review:Very dark purple, with a reddish-violet edge, typical of this grape. Black plums, a hint of licorice and subtle spice, not overly complex but appealing. A big mouth full of juicy black fruit is well structured by tart acidity and soft but distinct tannins.
My review: This wine had almost sour berries on the nose. Upon tasting I got a bold, heavy fruit. It was very full in flavor, that was definitely a mouth puckerer. Wasn't a huge fan of this one, and would probably not try it again.
This wine was tasted on its own with no food.
