Shop review: “…made
from a selection of the best grapes grown in the oldest vineyards. While not
truly an “oaked wine”, a short stay in oak barrels provides a nice spicy flavor
boost. Bright violet. Dark berry and cherry aromas show a jammy aspect. Supple
and gently sweet, with good lift to its black raspberry and boysenberry
flavors. Smooth and broad on the finish, leaving behind a hint of spiciness.
Extremely easy to drink and an excellent value.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)
My review: The color of this wine was a rich red. It had a fruity smell, which resembled
chocolate soufflé. The taste was green and fresh. It coated my tongue, but had
light tannins.
I drank this without
food.
