Winery Review: Minerally and berry notes make for a savory blend of flavors in this fine-grained red. Dried berry fruit dominates, with accents of white pepper and dill seed. Delivers lively acidity on the finish. Drink now through 2018.



My Review: This light colored red wine had a strong aroma of cherries and plums, almost like a jam.  This wine had flavors of pepper, cherries.  It was a dry wine with heavy tannin, like a cherry black tea.  It was not an unpleasant wine but it was not for me.  I did not pair this wine with food but I think it should go with something fatty to break up the tannin, like a nice steak.
