Wine review: Meticulously vinified in small lots and aged in the best French oak for 15 months, the wine has a distinctive balance of ripe red fruit flavors and a delicate spiceness. A hint of dark chocolate completes the long finish.
My review: I enjoyed this red wine a lot; I would give it a 9 out of 10. It smelled beautifully of black cherries with hints of spice, and it tasted equally as satisfying. It had flavors mostly of dark berries and a tad of pepper, but its dryness allowed it to go down smoothly and with a long finish. It did have a good amount of heat, with 15% alcohol, but it was still easy to drink because it had a good tannin structure and balanced acidity and sweetness well. I paired it with a crab cake dish with asparagus and rice and it went very well. Though it was a little expensive for my budget, I would definitely treat myself to it again someday.
