Tasting- "2015 Rockfish Red Cardinal Point"

Name: 2015 Rockfish Red Cardinal Point
Variety: Blend of Cabernet Franc and petite Verdot
Region: Afton, Virginia
Country: USA
Year: 2015
Price: $20

Winery Review:  Youthful, easy drinker but holds up well to pasta and pizza.  This fruit forward, easy finishing wine was named for the Virginia valley where is was grown.


My Review:  This wine had a strong aroma of blackberries and cherries.  It was soft on the palate and had medium tannins.  It tasted like cherries and a blend of dark berries.  I like this wine on its own but I feel like I could pair it with a meaty dish or some pasta.
