Wine Review: For those readers who like easy going affordable red wines, here is one for you. This wine opens with a mild spicy light black cherry bouquet with a touch of oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, really smooth, not overly complex, and easy to drink. The flavors are mild black cherry with slight hints of cherry cola on the mid palate. The finish is a little dry and fades nicely. This wine would complement a meal very nicely. I would serve this wine with Coq au Vin or pork tenderloin. This wine does well both slightly chilled and warm. Enjoy – Ken
