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.
My Review: This wine had a very earthy, dirty element to it. I almost detected a campfire, smoky like flavor to the wine, which was surprisingly pleasant. This wine tasted very natural and I felt like the terroir was apparent from the notes of the wine. I would drink this wine again!
I tasted this wine with on its own without food.
