Vintage Cellar Review: It's created from the finest Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Zinfandel. The taste is lush and velvety with expressive notes of raspberry and cherry. It pairs nicely with pasta and anything off the grill.
My review: First off, I usually put the vintage on the name, but I learned why this one does not have one. When the grapes are harvested in different years and then blended together, then rather than label all that crap no one probably cares about, they just leave it off. The smell was very cherry, but not in a cough syrup way. I think the other fruit probably contributed to it smelling more like cherry candy and gave it the nice round smell. The taste complemented this smell too. It was nice and fruity and then shifted to a dryer finish. The whole experience was very great though and I highly recommend this for anyone who hasn't tried a lot of red wines.
