•Shop/wine critic/winery review: 4 months in new American oak barrels
Bright ruby-red. Dried cherry, pipe tobacco and rose aromas, with a hint of woodsmoke. Sweet and fleshy on the palate, with blackberry and cherry flavors complimented by licorice and a suggestion of dried herbs. The cherry and smoke notes repeat on the finish.
•Your review: This wine was a deep red in color. It had a musty, barnyard smell. It had lots of bite and a strong oak flavoring.
•Did not have food with the wine.
