Vintage Cellar Review: Deep ruby red color with violet highlights and a pleasant and fruity bouquet. Full bodied, soft tannins and good acidity. Excellent with pasta dishes and red meats.
My Review: Something about this wine, I think it was the really really rich color just turned me off to the wine to start. I honestly did not think I was going to like it. The smell was really deep, rich cherry and typical red wine aromas. The first taste of it was very fruity of raspberries and cherries, but then quickly went into a sultry mid-pallet of extreme tannins that played well off the fruit flavors. Then it just sat on your tongue with a dry finish that was overall very lovely. I was very surprised afterwards that I did like it as much as I did, but maybe this is just a sign that I'm growing up guys.
