Shop/wine critic/winery review:
Don’t let the pale garnet color fool you: this is a substantial wine. Aromas of red fruits and spice complement undertones of cranberries, wild berries, and plums. On the palate, ripe tannins and good body make for an incredibly rich, yet easygoing red wine. Pair this wine with sausage, spicy curry sauces, hot soppressata, and tandoori chicken.
My Review:
This wine presents a nice bloody garnet color and a nose of spicy red fruit which is light but pleasant. Upon tasting, this wine is light, and dry, with smooth but present tannins. There is a lovely fruity/berry finish, and slight earthy/spicy tones. The body is full but overpowering and overall, this wine is quite nice, and I could see it going really well with savory tomato-y or spicy dishes. 80-81/100
