Winery Review: This is an extremely rich, full-bodied wine with a dark fruit core. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis, and dark cherry are followed by more berry fruits and chocolate and mocha on the palate.

 
My Review: This wine had an extremely strong berry smell on the nose. It had surprisingly rich, chocolatey flavors and blackberry notes. The wine was full, rich, and balanced and was just dry enough without being too dry. It would pair perfectly with a chocolate dessert, like chocolate cake or truffles. I would definitely drink this wine again, especially with dessert!

I tasted this wine with on its own without food.
