Shop Review: This dark-colored 2015 possesses cranberry and cherry richness intermixed with some spice box, earth and herbs. It is fresh, medium-bodied and could be served chilled if readers desire, given its Beaujolais-like weight and texture.

My Review: This had a nice berry aroma with a tint of cherry mixed in. This reminded me of a lovely chocolate factory with berries and also a deep burnt cidar. When tasting this wine, you could definitely detect the cherry richness. But, I did find that it had a bit too much spice in it. There was a bit too much of everything in this wine. The tannin component was a bit stronger than I would have preferred.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
