Shop review - Fermentation of selected grapes in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Aging in American oak casks for 5 months followed by 3 months in the bottle before being released in the market. Inky ruby. Ripe Cherry and plum on the nose. Smooth and fleshy, with deep dark fruit flavors complicated by bitter chocolate and anise. A spicy quality adds lift and focus to the weighty fruit. Offers an appealing mix of power and energy and drinks very well right now.
My Review - This red had a very strong scent of almost marshmallow, reminded me of a campfire. But also berries and perhaps some chocolate coming through. The wine tasted toasty, an even stronger taste of toasted marshmallow and smoke. Additionally it tasted of violet and charred fruit. There was also some acidity on the swallow. I liked the wine for the price but not my favorite red in the world.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
