Winery Review: 4 months in American oak barrels. Bright ruby-red. Dried cherry, pipe tobacco and rose aromas, with a hint of woodsmoke. Sweet and fleshy on the palate, with blackberry and cherry flavors complimented by licorice and a suggestion of dried herbs. The cherry and smoke notes repeat on the finish.
My Review: Deep red in color, this wine had an aroma reminiscent of dry leaves and split wood. It was juicy and warm. There were tannins present, but they were subtle, not very pronounced.
I tasted this wine on its own, without food.
