• Vintage Cellar Review: Deep ruby color. Appealing red fruit nose with hints of tobacco. Medium bodied with a smooth and lush mouth-feel. Finishes dry with lasting flavors. Excellent choice for a young and fruity everyday wine. Enjoy as an aperitif or with meats and pasta dishes.
• My review: On the nose this wine a lighter red with hints of blackberries and cherries. There is a slight amount of spice present, a bit of pepper. There is a bit of a mineral water smell as well and an earthy dirt aroma of wet soil. On the palate the wine is not that thick but is very smooth. There is a distinct raspberry and blackberry taste. These is a also a smokey taste like a cigarette and the sip is a bit thick and sticky. Overall a nice wine to go with food. 
• Food Pairing: I had no food with this wine.
