barbeques.”
Personal Review:
This wine had a smoky, camp fire smell to it. It reminded me of the way a fire
smells when it is only the hot coals left burning/smoking. It did smell high in
alcohol, although not terrible like others I have smelled. This wine was
definitely high in tannins, as it was a little too hot for my taste. It had a
severe drying effect on my cheeks after I tasted it. Although it was interesting
that this wine had a slight sweetness to it as well, making it taste unique. I
drank this wine with a homemade pepperoni pizza with green peppers and onions.
It would not be my first choice of a wine to pair with pizza, but it was
drinkable.
