Wine Review: "Dark and rather toasty, with firm coffee and black licorice notes around the core of roasted fig and black currant fruit. A firm, toasty edge holds sway on the finish. For fans of the style. 88 Points Wine Spectator"
My Review: This red was a deep violet to ruby color. There were aromas of black berry, plums, and mocha on the nose. These same flavors as well as hints of cherry, tobacco, and oak were present on the palate as well. It was a textured, complex red with smooth and ripe tannins. A strong finish to round out the tasting experience was the highlight of this wine. I enjoyed this red very much, but it was wrongly paired with a pomegranate-acai Greek yogurt. It was a little overpowering for this light yogurt, but I think it would complement a blackberry pie, fruit tart- anything with fruit jam.
