Winery review: ":Intense ruby red color. Intense perfume of oak and fruit. Characteristic flavor of red berries and plums with persistent oak finish. Ideal to accompany roasts, chops and mature cheese. Serve at room temperature." - Wine maker notes
My review: This wine was aged in oak for 12 months and I picked up on the earthy notes, however I the aromas were much lighter than expected. A fall time leafy smell hit my nose, accompanied with a raspberry jam aroma with hints of peppercorn and plum. This medium body wine brought black cherry flavor to the palate. A tinge of acidity and peppercorn was present along with a hint of basil. I'm not a proponent of spicy wines, yet the spice wasn't overwhelming, overall I quite enjoyed this wine.
This wine was tasted on it's own with no food.
