Winery Review: Fermentation of selected grapes in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Aging in American oak casks for 5 months followed by 3 months in the bottle before being released in the market. Inky Ruby. Ripe cherry and plum on the nose. Smooth and fleshy, with deep dark fruit flavors complicated by bitter chocolate and anise. A spicy quality adds lift and focus to the weighty fruit. Offers an appealing mix of power and energy and drinks very well right now.
My Review: This wine has a very dark, complex color that indicates the length of its aging. The nose of this one is not very pleasing to me, I noticed a rubbery smell along with some cherry. On the palate this wine is no better for me, it is hollow, with a little bit of spice and dryness.
