Shop Review: Black currant and blackberry aromas open up to reveal bright strawberry and cherry notes, and a subtle spicy character. A touch of vanilla oak complements the fruit and the ripe, sweet finish. Pair with savory dishes, like earthy stews, spicy dishes, like braised short ribs, chile con carne, Texas ribs, or steak au poivre.

My Review: This wine had a pleasantly sweet smell, in particular the berry aromas came through. The berry aromas also was present on the palate, along with a subtle spicy kick. The wine was on the dry side, and did have a medium body. But, there was something lacking on the palate. The flavors weren't as bold or prominent on the palate as I had hoped. I believe this is a wine best paired with food, as recommended in the shop review.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
