Winery Review:  Dark, ruby-red color with violet highlights. Intense and fragrant bouquet with a rich array of red and
black fruit aromas and flavors. Harmonious and
velvety on the palate. Great balance and structure.
Excellent with grilled or roasted meats, game and
cheeses.

My review:  This was a very dark wine.  On the nose their were aromas of earth, dirt and plum.  This wine was extremely tannic and was more a feeling experience than one of taste.  I could not register any tastes of the tannins.  Perhaps a big steak would compliment this wine.


I tasted this wine on its own without food.
