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, veal marsala, or grilled salmon.
My Review: The color of this wine is a really nice deep
red. The smell is pleasant, but I can’t
put my finger on what exactly I am smelling, maybe some type of flowery soap,
but one I want to eat. The taste is
peppery, a little spicy but also tart.
It’s not a dry wine, and when I try it with my grilled cheese it is
incredibly smooth and seems more cherry flavored to me than the blackberry
mentioned in the winery review. However,
it is too bitter when had with dessert (a brownie). It is well worth the 5 bucks, I will most
likely be buying this again! It actually really makes me want buttered toast.
