Winery review: Beautiful ruby appearance, with blackberry and pepper notes. Tannins and fruit marry well for a soft finish. This wine pairs well with sharp cheddar cheese and hazelnuts. Also try it along with roast lamb at Easter time, veal marsala, or grilled salmon.
My review: Dark red wines usually offer a more bitter smell, but this offered the sweet smell of vanilla as well. It also had an over ripened pomegranate smell to go along with it. The taste was full and peppery, but the finish was full of vanilla. Multidimensional, would drink again.
This was tasted without food
