Winery review: “Purple-colored,
it surrenders a lovely aromatic aray of wood smoke, incense, brier, lavender, black
cherry, and blackberry. Medium-bodied and elegant on the palate, this
concentrated effort conceals enough structure to blossom…” –Wine Advocate.

My review: This wine was much better than the blended red
wine I tried before. The bouquet contained a berry scent but also other fruity
scents. It tasted kind of earthy and the tannins were strong. I would say this
wine is medium-bodied since I did feel different flavors develop. I could taste
a black berry, smoky flavor in the mid palate. Overall, I would say this
wine was well structured. I did not try it with food but I would like to.
