Winery Review: Deep purple color with violet tints, complex plum, fig, strawberry, spices and floral aromas; rounded and velvety tannins, excellent length with a distinguished character. Excellent when paired with game, roasted red meats, pasta or pizza.

My Review: This wine was a bit too hot for my enjoyment on the nose. It contributed a full body but the bitter taste of pepper pushed through far too much. Velvet is the perfect word to describe the feel of this wine. Smooth, long finish.

 

I tried this wine without any food.
