Rich & velvety smooth on the palate with big dark plum, chocolate cherries, dried herbs and mushroom. Pairing with garlicky lamb sirloins. Happy Friday.

Hello beautiful! This was firing on all cylinders. As good as a rose' can be for me. Ample weight, not too sweet, sensational alone or with food. The perfect summer wine for my palette.

Deep purple with medium (+) intensity developing aromas of smoked meat, blackberry, black cherry, leather, mint, cranberry. Dry, with medium acidity and high tannins, high alcohol and the wine is full-bodied. Lovely aromas of smoke, blackberry, black plum. Medium (+) finish. It trails off a bit at the end but still very good quality. Drink now but has potential for further aging.

So fascinating. Slight hints of mint/menthol. Vicks cherry cough drops, wet earth, cherry/cranberry infused tobacco. Lovely wine.
