Winery review: Rooty, spicy and baked on the nose, with aromas that lean towards raisin. The palate is more gritty and acidic, with raisin, cola, and spic flavors. Darkens up on the finish, which is long and peppery, with adequate juiciness and a final note of tomato.
My review: Very sweet fruity smell initially but upon review a hint of nail polish? Sweet flavor to start, like that of a acidic soda. Finished off with a peppery flavor (that left my mouth a little sticky?). Not bad, would consider trying it again at a later date when I up my palate.
This wine was tasted on its own with no food.
