Wine Critic Review (Provided by Vintage Cellar): Dark purple. Zesty, youthfully medicinal aromas of dark berries, licorice and cracked pepper. Juicy and fresh, with smooth texture and sweet cherry and spice flavors framed by dusty tannins. Finishes with a suggestion of slightly roasted fruits and good clinging persistence. Delivers a lot of power and richness for the money.
My Review: This wine smelled of dark berries and alcohol to me. While the tongue did not make any sort of statement, the aftertaste was smooth and had a nice medium weight to it. I would like to try this wine again with food.
With Food: No
