Wine Review: This dark ruby colored wine opens with a slightly musty oak and black raspberry like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and easy to drink. It displays slightly tart black raspberry flavors with notes of toasty oak and a hint of dark chocolate and pepper on the back palate. The finish is dry and slightly prolonged. The panel felt this wine would appeal to old world fans and pair nicely with a pot roast. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Beautiful red/purple color with aromas of red cherries, red raspberries, dark chocolate, and baker's spice. On the palate, the wine shows fresh, vibrant red berry flavors along with hints of sandalwood and spice, and even a hint of violets in the finish. This is a medium-bodied and well-structured wine that is incredibly full of life and born to be enjoyed with food and friends. Goes great with everything from hamburgers to pizza and mild cheeses.
