Vintage Cellar Review:
It's created from the finest Pinot Noir, Syrah, and
Zinfandel. The taste is lush and velvety with expressive notes of raspberry
and cherry. It pairs nicely with pasta and anything off the
grill.
My review:
First reactions: this smelled like vanilla, and the taste reminded me of the qualities of vanilla too - full and velvety. On first taste, it was round and subtle but not heavy, with a small bite at the end. I was impressed by its wonderful smoothness; it was a much-needed change of pace compared to the acidic white wines before. Mmm, I knew within seconds that I could get into this wine. I tasted more raspberry than cherry flavors, but the cherry fleshed out on the second sip. Even as I continued to drink it, the wine never became overpowering, but maintained its sip-able quality.
Main point: I took a bottle home with me.
