Winery review: Explosive blackberry and blueberry on the nose. Very ripe with blueberry, mulberry, raspberry, some mineral character, layers upon layers of fruit, good texture, and with some backbone that should help it age well. This is definitely more serious than its price tag.
My review: The alcohol in this wine was very noticeable in the nose. This in not a quality I appreciate. The mid pallet had a fair amount of tannin feel and tasted of plums and cherries. On the finish, the wine was very dry with only a small pepper component. I did not enjoy this wine.
I tried this wine without food.
