Shop Review: Cleary ruby wine with overtones of red berry fruits. Round and supple with smooth aftertaste. A good all around red wine for meat courses, poultry, and light cheeses. Best drunk now while fresh with good keeping up to 4 years.
My Review: On the nose, I didn't detect any distinct flavoring except red fruits. On the palate, I was surprised that this red wine had a watery consistency at the beginning but then was reminded at the end that I was drinking wine. This wine was fairly tart and had a good amount of acidity at the end. Despite all of the hype that these vines were around 30 years old and it is organic, this was not that special of a blend.
I did not have any food with this wine.
