Wine review: Full-bodied and well balanced, this blend is overflowing with sabory tastes of wild berries with a rich velvety finish. The nose is persistent, with delicate hints of chocolate and roses. Serve this wine with hearty meat dishes and stews.
My review: This red wine was pretty good; I ranked it an 8 out of 10. It was a very hearty, dry wine, that paired very well with the Italian food (garlic bread, pasta and breaded fish) that I tasted it with. It's aromas were mostly florals, but there was a hint of dark chocolate. It tasted mostly of dark berries and did not have much heat, despite it's alcohol content of 13%. I would definitely try this wine again.
