Shop review: “Despite its light touch, this is fruity and full, with its blackberry fruit dominating the warm spice note and acidity. Soft tannins keep the wine together.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg, USA)

My review: The taste of this wine was definitely one to remember, though not necessarily in a positive way.  The taste was distinct, and actually reminded me of meat, particularly beef. If you have a more advanced palate, you might enjoy this wine.

 I ate this without food, so one would enjoy this wine with foods (such as a steak).
