Winery Review: Garnet color. Aromas of black cherry, plum jam, rich dark soil, and violet honey with a lightly tanic, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, complex, medium-long black cherry, rich garden soil, crushed plum, and cinnamon toast finish with medium tannins and moderate oak. Dense, dark and chewy with earthy complexity, balancing the luscious jammy fruit qualities of new world with earthy qualities of old world wines. - Beverage Testing Institute

My Review: The first sense of aromas that arise from this wine is earthy, like soil. Once tasted, the flavors of dark berries stick out. The wine is lightly tannic, and there is a hint of spiciness.

I did not consume any food with this wine.
