Shop review: “Deep
ruby red color with violet highlights and a pleasant and fruity bouquet. Ful
bodied, soft tannins and good acidity. Excellent with pasta dishes and red
meats.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)
My review: The wine indeed had a red-violet color, and a
strong smell of berries and acetone. It
had a dry taste that slightly resembled steak or barbeque. This wine also had no tannins that I could
detect, and had an overall muted taste.
I drank this without
food, but I imagine this wine would go well with meat as suggested in the review.
