Shop Review: Dark ruby color. Aromas of chocolate covered berries, dates, grilled pepper, cedar, and a touch of peppered ham with a supple, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a cherry tart and dark roasted nut finish. Very tasty and well balanced.

My Review: This wine had a very rich, berry aroma. To me, the wine had a rather bland taste on the palate, which was surprising since the aroma was so prominent. The body was on the heavier side than the previous wines. I found that there was an unpleasant acidic or citrus finish and aftertaste. If I were to have this wine again, I would need to pair it with food to try to balance out the flavors and acidic feel.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
