Shop review: “Very
dark purple, with a reddish-violet edge, typical of this grape. Black plums, a
hint of licorice and subtle spice, not overly complex but appealing. A big
mouth full of juicy black fruit is well structured by tart acidity and soft but
distinct tannins.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)
My review: The smell was fruity and jammy, with evident
tannins. Just smelling the wine made me sweat! The taste resembled a twig that
had been in a fire (slightly smokey).
I drank this without
food, but I imagine this wine would go well with meat.
