Shop Review: Opaque ruby in color, once in the glass the nose explodes right away. Delightfully intoxicating aromas of black and blue berry fruit leap forward first, followed by notes of cherry hard candy, crushed violets, caramel, allspice, cloves, and cigar box. In your mouth, more persistent and chewy berry fruit: blue and black + lots of sour cherry and tart blackberry.
My Review: This wine smelled very strongly of berries with a lingering lighter smell of salt water. This is another wine that I feel could be done more justice when tasted with food. On the palate I only got berries and not a whole lot more.
This wine was not tasted with wine.
