Winery Review: “A
beefy, herb-tinged red, sporting dense layers of plum sauce, grilled fig, and
currant paste, stacked with notes of roasted game, rosemary, and hummus. The
finish lingers, despite noticeable tannins. Drink now through 2016. 14,000
cases made.
Personal Review:
This wine has a very pretty plum color. It has a similar smell to the color,
like rich plums. It tasted very spicy and made my mouth feel very dry. I didn’t
taste the meat, game, or herbs the winery description listed. I mostly tasted
plums in this wine. Perhaps drinking this wine with food would make those
tastes more apparent. I am not sure I would be willing to try this wine again
because I was not a big fan of it on its own in the first place.
