Wine Review: This slightly cloudy and dark ruby colored kitchen sink red blend from Buena Vista really impressed us. It opens with a black raspberry and oak bouquet with hints of black tea and nutmeg. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, very smooth and seamless. The flavor profile is a black plum and ripe blueberry blend with notes of black cherry and black tea. We also detected some hints of oak and cocoa. The finish is dry, and its moderate tannins are well- managed and nicely extended. We would pair this beauty with Theresa's homemade meatloaf. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: This wine displays a vibrant, dark red color in the glass, with rich aromas of red currants, plum, and blackberry, with a touch of lilac. This medium-bodied wine displays a luscious, refined texture and sophisticated tannins. Subtle layers of herbs and dark cocoa invigorate the dark fruit flavors on the palate. The finish is lengthy, luxurious, and delicious.
