Winery Review: "Fermentation of selected grapes in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Aging in American oak casks for 5 months followed by 3 months in the bottle before being released in the market. Inky ruby. Ripe cherry and plum on the nose. Smooth and fleshy, with deep dark fruit flavors complicated by bitter chocolate and anise. A spicy quality adds lift and focus to the weighty fruit. Offers an appealing mix of power and energy and drinks very well right now."
My Review: This wine had a strong cherry aroma with hints of plum. With 13.5% alcohol in it I felt that I could smell the acidity but was pleasantly surprised when the wine did not taste acidity on the palate. It was dry tasting with soft tannins and a soft finish with a slight hint of chocolate. Although it was smooth I did not enjoy the after taste. I cannot pin-point what the taste was but I did not enjoy it.
