Shop Review: Garnet color. Aromas of black cherry, plum jam, rich dark soil, and violet honey with a lightly tannic, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, complex, medium-long black cherry, rich garden soil, crushed plum, and cinnamon toast finish with medium tannins and moderate oak. Dense, dark and chewy with earthy complexity, balancing the luscious jammy fruit qualities of new world with earthy qualities of old world wines.

My Review: This wine had a smokey scent. Very Earthy with definite tastes of soil and dirt. Moderately dry with some tannins and a hint of fruit. Interesting taste, never had an Earthy wine before. 


Tasted without food.
