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 palette, 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 nose of this wine provided aromas of blackberry and cherry.  I tasted a dry wine with flavors of plum, blackberry, cranberry, and cherry present.  I would drink this wine in the future.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
