This beauty is a rich, dark, ruby red. The smooth mellow scent of oak is almost nutty blending elegantly with a distinctly cherry and eclectic mix of wild berries. The taste is immediately soft and oaky with a very cherry, berry mix that holds it's richness before fading fairly quickly, leaving you wanting more. There is a nice crisp dryness that compliments the rich warm smoothness. The wine envelopes you like a warm fuzzy blanket by a fire on a cold day. This red is rich, graceful and smooth delivering on everything it appears to offer on first impression. |
