Winery Review: "Garnet color. Aromas of black cherry, plum jam, rich dark soil, and violet honey with a lightly tannic, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, complex, medium-long black cherry, rich garden soil, crushed plum, and cinnamon toast finish with medium tannins and moderate oak. Dense, dark and chewy with earthy complexity, balancing the luscious jammy fruit qualities of new world with earthy qualities of old world wines."
My Review: This wine smelled a bit spicy. The taste, however, was floral. The floral flavor of this wine was very obviously even to my inexperienced pallet. When I first began sampling wines I was not able to identify earthy undertones, but this is an excellent example of an earthy wine easy for beginners to work with.
