Wine Review: This very dark ruby colored wine opens with a blueberry and black cherry bouquet with a hint of smoke. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and soft. The flavor profile is a gentle plum and oak blend with a touch of chocolate mixed in. The finish is quite dry and its building tannins are sticky and lengthy. The panels suggested pairing this wine with a big rack of fatty barbecue ribs. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Opaque purple in the glass. The wine is rich with ripe blackberry, black pepper and chocolate aromas. It contains very deep and complex flavors with a lasting finish braced by medium tannins. It has the structure to age well over many years. Decant if desired.

Organic status: not organic

Your comments on this wine:





Clinking Glasses Before Tasting Wine: Originates from medieval times. Milk was often spoiled, water was often polluted. Wine was usually safe. The host would drink the wine first and then clink glasses with guests to show the wine was good and safe for drinking.
