Shop review: “Rooty,
spicy and baked on the nose, with aromas that lean towards raisin. The palate
is more gritty and acidic, with raisin, cola, and spice flavors. Darkens up on
the finish, which is long and peppery, with adequate juiciness and a final note
of tomato.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)
My review: The color of the wine was a dark red. I myself did not taste the tomato finish
described in the review, but I did taste fruit flavors. I thought that it had a sour or citrus taste,
which I thought is unexpected for a red wine.
I did not drink this with food.
