Winemakers notes: Welcoming aromas of berry fruit come with a bit of oaky menthol in support. A full palate, bright acidity and slightly edgy tannins make for a healthy ride. Plum, currant and juicy berry flavors are choppy on a fresh, bold finish.
My review: This wine smells strongly of cherry and plum with sweet honey. Initially you are hit with strong tannins followed by leathery, oaky notes. The fruit comes through at the end to carry out soft and sweet notes.
Pairings: I did not pair this wine with any food.
