Winemaker Review: Don't let the pale garnet color fool you: this is a substantial wine. Aromas of red fruits and spice complement undertones of cranberries, wild berries, and plums. On the palate, ripe tannins and good body make for an incredibly rich, yet easygoing red wine. Pair this wine with sausage, spicy curry sauces, hot soppressata, and tandoori chicken.

My Review: This was a very decadent wine, with strong fruity flavors, mostly consisting of darker berries. It had a strong body and was full of tannins, especially noticeable in the finish.

Food: No
