Winery review: Don’t let the pale
garnet color fool you: this is a substantial wine. Aromas of red
fruits and spice complement undertones of cranberries, wild berries, and
plums. On the palate, ripe tannins and good body make for an incredibly
rich, yet easygoing red wine. Pair this
wine with sausage, spicy curry sauces, hot soppressata, and tandoori chicken.
My review: This red wine was very aromatic with
raisins, prunes, and cranberries, accompanied by spices. On the palate, the
wine had a lasting tannic feel and the red-fruit aspects flavors were complimented
by hints of spice. However, it felt a little hot on the backend.
